Dante’s 9th Inning Stretch

Audio Recordings / tagged Baseball, Regret, Sports / October 16, 2021 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

In life there are errors
errors and regrets
and then there is baseball

The ball off the end of the glove
the errant throw, any errant throw
The running into the other fielder and the ball dropping between
The not being willing to run into the other fielder and the ball dropping between
The not tagging up at third
The easy dribble down the first base line
and knees that won't let you bend to pick
The ball that was called a strike
the strike that was called a ball
For Catholics there's Purgatory
with constant replay of regret
For baseball fans there's late October to forever

In sympathy with the 2021 Toronto Blue Jays – Best team in baseball not in the playoffs
