Beautiful Baseball

The diamond rings with vendor chants
Popcorn sprinkles between the seats
In the first base dugout, a player rants
As the formal usher man greets
Managers march anxiously back and forth
Grounds crews rake the last of March
Fans pour words out from the north
While the south sand sits fresh and parch
The balls sail effortlessly through the blue
A leather mitt soaks up a human hand
Someone records the whole game through
Detailing beauty that will never be bland

Parting Points: Sad loss for the New York Yankees-George Steinbrenner was an icon.
