A Collage For Larry's Mother

________________________________________________________________________________________________

To say that 
is the most talented 
baseball player
in the game today
is to belabor
the obvious


Unfortunately,
he is too good
to continue playing
for the team 
capable of
emotional mood swings
in this blogger
who
[quite stupidly]
has rooted for them
above all other
professional sports teams
for the past forty years

But Mrs. CarPeo
loves Shohei
more than God intended
and my only hope
is that she wears
her Otani t-shirt
to Larry's memorial service
(or lets me wear it)

      Oliverio thanks you for asking:

      This re-posted image originally appeared here:

      https://gofatherofmath.blogspot.com/2022/05/a-fortnight-after-reid-detmers-day.html

      when the Shohei bobblehead giveaway coincided
      with a Reid Detmers no-hitter.

      Attending that game inspired six blog pages
      about the Los Angeles Angels within a week.

      Whatever coloring defects in the image
      were eclipsed by the other-worldly joy
      experienced just by being there.

      However, the simple baseball fact
      that applied to last season
      and this season is:

      A BASEBALL TEAM IS NOT
      SUPPOSED TO PEAK
      IN MAY
