ESSENCE

All good plots are based on
Will he (or she) get out of this?
Pauline tied to the track
The Lone Ranger surrounded
Superman facing kryptonite
And therein lies the essence of baseball
Bases loaded, two outs
Will the pitcher get out of this
Down two runs in the ninth
Will our team get out of this
Stranded on first
Can our hero steal second
All good plots have the Calvary
Bugles blowing, flags bellowing in the wind
Coming to the rescue
And the reliever runs to the mound
Every day a new plot
Which is why we love the game
