Tom Clark - "Great Catch"

With one away
in the seventh
and Terry Crowley on base
Pina threw
a side arm curve
to Earl Williams
who golfed it
high 'n deep
to left

Joe Rudi
pedaled back
to the warning path
sidewise, watching
the towering drive
as it peaked
and began to fall

with one hand propped
against the wall he
crouched, and leaped
and hung
motionless
in a bath of light
his glove
a foot above the top
speared it!

- and then he fell back down
into the sound
