"I'm From..." Poem

I am from the House that Ruth built,
the empty stands,
and those who came before me.

I am from a place where this game I love is still pure,
not tainted by the tabloids and the trials.

I am from those who I looked up to,
and those who let me down

I am from every kids dream of playing nine in the show
I am from BASEBALL

  1. What a great "take" on the poem. I really like the musicality of this -- the rhyming and the rhythm. Really good ear!
