Baseball is a game
It's balls, bats, gloves and practice
It's a boy's passion.
It's not just winning
It's the batting and catching
It's learning the skills
Baseball is a game
It's balls, bats, gloves and practice
It's a boy's PASSION

This Haiku is a tribute to all who love baseball. It's also a tribute to a young man and his team who advanced to the semi-finals of the Regionals of the Little League World Series. They didn't win. No, but they did show amazing talent. I know the hours they have practiced and the determination with which they have played the game. I was even able to watch them play for the first time on national television and was amazed at the poise and maturity they showed.
Again I applaud the Golfmoor boys, coaches and especially Luke for making my day!!! You were terrific!!!

Thanks be to God!

I LOVE baseball (especially college baseball) and I'm enjoying watching the Little League world series on ESPN. Baseball teaches so much ... it's a thinking mans game and I like the idea that you don't have to be TALL to play!!!! :D :D :D Loved these haikus.

ReplyDeletedear cathy,
ReplyDeletepairing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame"...with your fabulous haiku of honoring is really filling me with nostalgic longing. having the extreme pleasure of raising a son is welling up in my heart right now with the memory of my mother teaching this song to him as a tiny little boy.
I love baseball!
ReplyDeletegoing, going, gone
far beyond the fence -
pitcher kicks the mound
learning and playing all wrapped in one little ball that flies through the skies with such grace... indeed a box full of memories...
