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
could never have hit the
only Walk-Off Home Run
in the history of professional sports
in the United States of America
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
