Krukow's Pride

When did Pride Night
Occasion Pride fight?

Why do some scribe Bible verses
To hex others with their curses?

Why can’t Giants ballplayers be cool cats,
Instead of defacing rainbow baseball hats?

Mike Krukow disappointedly spat,
Asking, “Why would you do that?”

The former Cubs/Giants pitcher is now a broadcaster
Who comes up with memorable lines fast, and faster.

He coulda told the players, without missing a beat,
to sit on the bench and “Grab some pine, meat.”

Some say he shoulda ignored their ungodly blather,
Maybe only say, “Just another — ha ha ha ha — laugher!”

Here’s how Kruk did respond, without rhyme,
Throwing a high and hard one on a dime:

“I would just hope
they would understand
the demographic of San Francisco
and respect people for who they are.

“What you do to your uniform,
that has weight to it.
You can offend people.
And why would you do that?”
