You know Ryno covers
A lot of ground and
Plays the game the way
It’s supposed to be played:
He knows how to turn a DP;
He lays down a sweet sacrifice bunt;
He hits for a solid average and with power;
And he respects the old-timers.
Mark my word,
That young fella
Is going to the
Hall of Fame.
This poem adds line breaks to a reflection by Ernie, a character in Dr. Oza’s upcoming novel, Double Play on the Red Line.
