When his team was
way, way down,
with no way up,
Bucky Hedrick
lobbed-lobbed-lobbed
not a ball, mind you,
but a
po-
ta-
to!
What?
Yes,
a potato,
but only,
you understand,
to get the enemy out.
Bucky bowed out
of the game –
not to say
“was thrown out
of the game” –
but fans and dugout
barreled out
onto the field.
There were more eyes,
you see, on Bucky
than on that
po-
ta-
to!
