The Reds bullpen was full of high fliers
Led by the top flake, lefty Randy Myers
He teamed up with Ron Dibble
For more psyches than Sybil
Plus Norm Charlton, the king of live wires

By Bennett Oberfeld

Roger Craig taught to all the split finger
So that batters would not blast a dinger
If he saw an outsider
Toss a fastball or slider
He was thrown off the team as a ringer

There once was a man named Selig
Who vied to be baseball’s bigwig
He couldn’t rely on class
To be among the top brass
So he slimed his way into the gig.

There once was a Yankee named Alex
Who neared the home run apex
He took his glove and his lumber
On holiday throughout October
Yet George kept sending the paychecks

Another of the classic BaseballInk baseball haikus….

Glance left, another step
Long look, quick pitch, runner goes
Catcher stops the thief
