It is like forgetting to sing the National Anthem,
moving the bases up five feet,
bulldozing the pitcher’s mound,
banning Cracker Jack,
using aluminum bats,
elimininating “Take Me Out to the ball Game.”
Why not let Charles Manson throw out the first pitch,
replace beer with bottled water,
make the World Series best out of five,
ban the double play,
allow four strikes?
How Un-American can you get?
Eliminating box scores from the daily paper?
THE POETRY OF THE GAME
