Howard Rosenberg - "Stetter to Sheffield to Matcovich"

His five-hundreth victim -
A name for trivia lovers;

The pitch, number nine,
A full-count slider,

Tossed nine days after
His Mets debut.

His swat -his first hit as a Met-
A gloved surprise for a bleacher buyer;

The media's momentum magnifying
The threesome's moment;

The catch worth bats, balls, jerseys,
The gifts of a Major League man

Whose dreams were now just memories,
Whose blast could not revive the past -

Only stir the present.


Spitball
