The Play Ball Story

Engineered for the perfect pitches,

Finished with 108 stitches,

Forming a perfect pair of figure-eights,

All essentials to the baseball’s shape.

Entering the ballpark gates,

Scents of hot dogs, pretzels, and popcorn fill the place,

Fun and action for nine innings await,

With a “wave” and a seventh-inning stretch,

All part of the game Americans love so much.

The ballpark welcomes one and all.

Anticipation soars until the umpire’s last call.

Be it a fastball, curveball, slider, sinker, or splitter,

Every pitch is designed to elude the hitter.

So when the bases are loaded,

And the batter taps the mat, adjusts his hat,

Ready at bat.

The dugout stands, the catcher readies his mitt,

The pitcher preps on the mound;

The crowd hushes—the stadium has no sound.

The pitcher throws, the batter swings for the win,

Betting on no whiffs, or slips,

Aiming for a base or home run hit.

Dreams of sliding into home plate,

like one of the many baseball greats.
