Eyes as cold as arctic ice, His lips a thin, grim line, It's only in the closer's role His talents seem to shine. Three balls, two strikes, And two men out, The winning run on third - Ah, this is what it's all about, He must strike out this bird. He checks the runner from the stretch, He kicks and he delivers - The crack of wood on ball so loud The very ball park quivers. A bird? A plane? A rifle shot? To travel with such verve? Ah, no, I greatly fear it was- Our closer's hanging curve. |

To be the "Closer", all eyes focused on the mound, game in the balance, a single pitch, to win or lose, what a rush it must be! Nice write GS~~~ |

Another masterpiece, GS. But, alas, much too short. *smile* Sand |

Not being a baseball fan, I still enjoyed this! It must be a thrill, unless of course, the opponant scores, then it must be the worst feeling in the world. Denise |

Fantasico! I'm one who has to be there and watch it, rather do that, than watch on tv. Just not the same! I can feel the excitement here  |
