I’m not a fan
but I live across
from the ball
park
Mondays are
dollar day
buck a beer
hotdog
pretzel
there’s a beer
garden off the
right field
rail
looks down
into the dugout
full of future
franchise players
chewing giant wads
of gum
tobacco’s
replacement
it’s called
triple a ball
just down the hill
from the
“Big Show”
young draftees
fighting the
almost could haves
should haves
would haves
if onlys
I like watching
and drinking
dollar beer
under a canvas
umbrella
in the polite
june sun
it’s a lazy game
more an excuse
to hang out
drink
tell stories
catch up on grampa’s
gall bladder
with a crack whack and
Ooooooh…
by the way
the did you hear
about so and so
so
in
some strange context
it’s comforting
that Jose’ or Barry or
Billy will
for a time be
everything they
can be plus
a hundred million
over six years
signing bonus
endorsements
and a shot at the
wheaties box
