Baseball Poetry

Dedicated to the writing of those invited to participate in a baseball poetry project. Those invited were asked to 1) go to a baseball game, any game and 2) create a poem, in any shape or form about that particular game or some memory of baseball, for the purpose of developing a collection. Most baseball poetry collections are ones culled from the works of famous poets; this one is designed to be more democratic, inviting some established poets and others moved to write baseball poems.

    Exactly.
    Now, managers and coaches always say stuff like this. As if players don't have a clue.

    A thing I like about it is what I see as a former player's resentment at the coach, looking back, resentment at the cliches, the "inspiring" bench talks before, during and after games. Like, common, cut the crap, I get it, let me play the game! :)
