Before anyone accuses me of VOODOO ...
Someone who died on February 21st
is listed on an Obituary Page for February 20th.
When a father has taken his 11-year-old son
to a 1960 World Series game but
—years later—the latter
wrote the following poem:
If forgetting were an art
I'd be Van Gogh
and forget where
my ear was
and cut off my toe
The two of us attended nearly a dozen games
at Yankee Stadium and I have blogged
the beJesus out of most of them:
ALL of those games
were prior to 1971
when the boy became
an adult orphan!
Since that time,
I may have claimed to have attended
the 7th Game of the 1960 World Series
That is an utter impossibility
because BILL MAZEROSKI
of the Pittsburgh Pirates
could never have hit
the only Walk-Off Home Run
in the history of professional sports
in the United States of America
He proceeded to do exactly that
but in Pittsburgh
—Not the Bronx—
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
