Not many major leaguers came out of the Rocky Mountains." - Curt Gowdy
The exhibition at Pocatello
Had gone smoothly enough: three quick runs
In the second ware all they needed;
After that, most of the regulars
Watched from the dugout. Another easy
Win, but their bus from Boise was late.
When it finally arrived, only
The trainer and Kurtz, the first baseman
Showed up at the station to take it.
The others, whether victims of foul
Play, or lured off by some fabled
Trout stream, were never seen again, although
The front office continues to hope
Signed contracts for next year will turn up.
