SPRING TRAINING

S   Starting first with the pitchers and catchers,
  Players slowly start getting back to the game.
  Rookie sensations are extended invitations,
 I    If impressive, a roster spot they may claim.
  New trade acquisitions, and free agent additions,
  Get set to put their old teams to shame.

T   Together, they start preparing themselves,
R   Readying for another long season to come,
A   As they slowly get shed of their winter rust,
 I    It may be the last chance at glory for some.
N   Newcomers and veterans melding together,
 I   Intent on helping their ball club to win,
N   Now’s the time for honing their skills,
G   Get set for yet another season to begin.
