My t-shirt is a paean to the beauty of the sport.
Its tempo sometimes as smooth as a curveball sent right over the plate,
Sometimes slowed by pitches holding back the speed at first
Staccato, then the sharp slide, the run to home
The drum beat crack of a bat and the deep arc of a ball over the wall
The chorus of fans adding their sighs and applause
Everything in the warm clear sun of the ballpark moving slowly
Inevitably to the final out or the triumphant thud of another winning homerun
