World Series 2016

Uncategorized / tagged Baseball, Sports / August 11, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

(for Herman Nelson)

There are 108 stitches on a baseball
There are 108 beads on a Hindu Mala

To win the world series
you need to win 4 out of 7
9 innings X 3 outs X 4 games = 108

The diameter of the sun times 108
is the distance from the sun to the earth
The diameter of the moon times 108
is the distance from the moon to the earth

The Cubs haven't won since 1908
and are about to run out
of beads to pray on and stitches to count

But nobody remembers for sure
the number of turns in the horn of the goat
