How We Loved Baseball

Charles Hayes

    How we loved baseball, Casey At The Bat. Ruth’s point lifted our hearts, Gehrig’s goodbye broke them.
    Battered like the balls we threw, our pastime, its name a vision gone, a fuzzy memory be.
    Trinkets, ribbons, a path to heroism penciled in, replaced our gloves and cleats. The luckiest Lou, many covered not meant to be, made it anyway.

    Booted blouses cracking cadence. Popcorn, crackerjacks, killing the umpire, a thought gone by.
    Nine men, the crack of the bat, faded to a ping, two fire teams in a squad, freeze dried in the gut.
    How we loved baseball, no Arlington to warm our memories, baseball could never die, but a play, it hides beyond.
