Buddy, why did the boss reject

your football headline

that, sparingly, spoke

of backfielders? --- 

What does he call the baseball 3

who patrol the outfield

and the 4 who scoot and staff

the infield?

Here's wishing you had seen

Joe DiMaggio attack the throw

with controlled fire,

and drill the ball on a bullet line

and nail the target

a split-second before the speeder

and out him.
