He Who Sits At Right Hand Of Leo Durocher ...

________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
 
Willie Mays 
sits at the right hand
of Leo Durocher,
—his mentor and manager—
 
The young man
in the baseball uniform 
is laughing loud enough
to be heard
≈seventy years≈
after the photograph
was taken
  
 
Willie Mays is laughing
because 
—in 2026—
he sits at
 the right hand 
of God
   ❗

Unfortunately,
authorities higher than
Mr. Mays 
and his seat-mates
will not allow me to name
the photographer
at this time
