Fondest Baseball Memory of 2019...

 After Howie Kendrick 

Crushed a game-winning GRAND SLAM

(deadcenterfield!)

against the dreaded Dodgers,

in L.A.

in extra innings

in Game 5

sending the Nats to the promised land!

!!the hollywood showboats'll

have to stay home!!

and Howie gets hounded

by mic'd up suits

asking questions contrived

by tv

by monoform

buy monoform

but wait!

Howie has something real to say, 

not to sell,

so go to Hell

if you're not gonna listen.

And I'm gonna paraphrase:

Baseball, like life,

is a game of failure.

And you gotta learn from failing

Effort and error --

Just look at tonight.
