HINCHCLIFFE STADIUM’S REBIRTH

An infancy of an old stadium’s rebirth
Refurbished now and an Independent League baseball digs
Yesterday’s old relic from back in the day
it’s an enclave Negro League’s preferred baseball diamond
Unforgettable stars played there

Satchel Paige and his windup perfected there
Struck out many with his euphus-like pitch
Opponents couldn’t hit what they can’t see
A slugger, Josh Gibson hit many monstrous homers

The notorious fantastic king of the long ball, counting 800
Eerily history, a decade’s worth of memories
Small in attendance but miraculously glued to baseball’s finest
Bring back and revive the asymmetric stadiums of yesteryear

The true dynamic baseball fan gloats
A tourist spot if ever baseball’s deserved and provided it.
