The Greatest Sport Ever



By Kyle

Baseball is the greatest sport ever,
Hotdogs, sodas and peanuts for all!
Grab a mitt and head for Chase field,
Where the well trained players stand tall.

The excitement of a game,
When the home team’s down by two.
In the sixth inning, with a man on second,
The batter is chosen to see them through.

And as the hitter gets his sign,
Self-confidence the pitcher lacks,
As he knows this is the best team . . .
None other than the Diamondbacks!

And wouldn’t you like the sport,
Where the crowd is far from mild,
As the batter steps into the batter’s box,
The cheering fans can’t help but get wild!

The crowd starts chanting “Owings, Owings”,
As the pitcher delivers the ball sooo fast!
No worries, he won’t let them down.
He hits it so hard . . . the pitcher is aghast!

Now the team is celebrating,
For Micah has hit a game tieing home run!
The opposing team stands wondering.
Now don’t you think baseball is fun?
