Mr. Beethoven, I ode you one

“Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good, too.” – Yogi Berra

O friends, please more of these sounds!
Let us shout more joyful cheers,
More cheers full of joy!
Joy!
Joy!
Joy, bright spark of these nine innings
Denizens of the baseball field!
Team-inspired we tread
Within thy white-lined diamond.
Baseball’s power re-unites
All that losing has divided,
All fans become brothers,
Under the sway of thy gentle swings.
Whoever has created
An abiding friendship
Or has won
An afternoon alone at a baseball game

  1. LOVE the title! It would not be a real summer without at least one trip to the ballpark. My father-in-law is a yuuuuge Yankees fan, but I try not to hold that against him, lol. He lives with us and is bed bound, but I’m trying to persuade him to go see our AAA guys, the Indianapolis Indians, always a good time.
