ABC thought it was what we wanted to see
the side of the coin
that didn't turn up
as last night that white voyeuristic eye
came to lick sweat
in your Kansas City clubhouse
plunged into the finality
of all that lost sweetness
it hurt
You hurt
You said, There's nothing to say, really,
when you lose, the team loses,
when you win, it's the team that wins
A hopeless Warner Wolf at last
got sensitive
to the numb gloom of the Almost
as his every useless question
outraged the manhood
of a nation
George Brett, the tears
in your eyes
Baseball I Gave You All The Best Years of My Life
