Crossing the Diamond

America's Pastime is one of the greatest and oldest sports around. Baseball has as much history and memories that date back for centuries. So many great and amazing players have come and gone. And so many more talented players are just getting started. In my life time I have seen many greats play the game. I have seen some of my favorite players retire. I have also seen many great players come up to the Major Leagues and become new favorite players. I love this sport so much that I have decided to write a poem about my favorite, Baseball. I hope you enjoy.

As we approach the stadium, so full of life

The stars of tomorrow, behind the walls it hides

So much talent, awaits to take the field

My emotions of excitement, no longer yield

As we find our seats, we stop and grab a hotdog and beer

We settle into the stadium seats, await the home team to cheer

The atmosphere like no other, no place can replicate

The noises, the smells a win we hope to celebrate

The announcer voice echoes, as the first pitch is ready to be thrown

My excitement for the best game live in front of me has grown

The crack of the bat, the slap of the leather glove

Those are the sounds of music from the sport I love

I hope I see a home run or a few, a high scoring game

Maybe the pitcher will throw a no-hitter, that would be insane

And to see my favorites, live and in front of me

Going to a baseball game equals a moment that is stress free

Unless my team is losing and trying to make a come back

The edge of my seat I control, waiting for the home attack

Singles, doubles and a few triples, the bases are touched

Seeing my team dominate, do I not have the kind of luck

Eight innings down, one more to go

The closer comes in for the save as his pitches he will throw

We have the lead, we cannot blow the game now

One strike, two strikes, three strikes you are out

The thousands on hand, as cheers arose

The home team has one, and for a moment I'm froze

Baseball is my favorite sport, a wonderful game to love

Enjoy it with family and friends, a feeling that rises above
