Here is an Odd sports Ode I wrote

An odd baseball feat is a triple play bout
A ball bashed to third base snatched so stout
The fielder tags a baffled base runner for one out
Then fluently flips to second to see another player pout

From a glove at second on to first goes the throw
Spinning sharply in space the ball lobs landing low
Five-seven-nine the box score will not show
Third base to left field and rocketed to right just doesn’t flow

Six days this century we’ll celebrate odd days
It’s as rare as baseball’s unassisted triple plays
Six times since ‘91 has one player made all three displays
A single shining star for one inning of praise
