Posted by Luke Easter on 1/23/2007, 19:23:30 When the time came for sports writers to answer the call, Where was this so-called great big brother concern? Apparently the baseball commissioner and owners of the game, Along came Chicago’s Sammy Sosa, from St. Louis Mark McGwire, A rose by any other name, unless your first name happens to be Pete, Let’s not forget Barry, in the year of 9/11 he smashed a record setting 73, Fans, owners, writers are calling foul, what about integrity of the game? Blacks couldn’t even get in stadiums to shine the numerous pairs of shoes, These four players have been blessed with the ability to play professional ball, Finally, for the vote “no” writers, the wanna be but not good enough jocks, © 2007 by Luke Easter
Major League Baseball Hall Of Fame
What a shock, Big Mac was not elected to the hall,
Allegedly the same will happen for Sammy and Barry,
All because of the controversy they supposedly carry.
Earlier than realized, the powers that be had learned,
Baseball was all the talk, even strolling through the mall,
Who can forget the commercial, “Chicks did the long ball”?
Tried all the promotions they could think of but off was their aim,
Congratulations to Cal Ripken and his amazing consecutive streak,
Yet still in intensive care because of the never-ending slow leak.
Concession workers, ball girls… fast enough personnel couldn’t hire,
Peanuts, popcorn, red-hots then cola, beer or water to put out the fire,
Once called hero’s, in the new millennium these men are now called liars.
So many accomplishments, coupled with outstanding amazing feats,
Another guy who more than did his job even filling the bleacher seats,
The price of tickets and salary also rose due to their handy dandy treats.
The game everyone loved was given credit for helping to heal this country,
Should this Bond’s guy break the home run record receive not even a memento?
Saying he’ll only receive a standing ovation if it’s broken in San Francisco.
A sport that for years excluded minorities without any remorse or shame?
Shoeless Joe and his cohorts should not be expected to carry all the blame,
This excuse needs to be permanently put to sleep like a horse coming up lame.
Or sell refreshments in the stands, every now and then to enjoy the view,
Negro Leagues cut into the fan base, now they’re allowed to come through,
Sluggers saving the game are lepers, what next will America’s pastime do?
Through all the hours of hard work, practice and sacrifice they answered the call,
Barry Bonds with Sammy Sosa in the future, Mark McGwire and Pete Rose today,
Deserve the hall; neither sportswriters nor the commissioner should take that away.
Who couldn’t tell the time of day with the most expensive digital clocks,
Without any real concrete proof, concerning who did or did not take what?
Please be so kind as to bend over, accepting this swift poetic kick in the butt.
