Love and Baseball

Love and Baseball

A Poem by Dennis Shanaberg
"

A love song using baseball analogies. Why? Because I can

"

Wind up the pitch--straight and smooth.

That’s when I see her start to move--yeah.

Three strikes I’m out or hit outta the park,

But I’m still just pitching in the dark--oh.


She’s so far outta my league,

But I’m hoping that she still sees

Me.

She’s so far outta my league,

But I’m hoping that she can’t see

It.


I warm this bench while she’s MVP

Best damned hit that you’ve ever seen.

Call me the Indians, I’ll never make it.

She’s the New York Yanks, made to cheat with.


She’s so far outta my league,

But I’m hoping that she still sees

Me.

She’s so far outta my league,

But I’m hoping that she can’t see

It.


Come on baby let’s play

Cuz I got game.

I cannot promise

That you won’t get played.

Don’t listen to what

My critics might say

Cuz baby, oh baby, 

I just can’t behave.


She’s so far outta my league,

But I’m hoping that she still sees

Me.

She’s so far outta my league,

But I’m hoping that she can’t see

It.

Baseball and love. Could go together? I like the feel of the ball park and the good wish in this poem. A good ending to a excellent poem.

I love this, to be honest. I love baseball and it makes me realize how many people nowadays go after those who are out of their league. I know I do...but if I don't get them, I don't put myself down because of it. I just tell myself that they don't have the chance to know a wonderful person like me and what they will miss out on. What they could've had. But going after someone who is out of our league, it makes us go outside of our comfort zone, which we have to learn to do sometime in our life, whether we like or not.
