The baseball announcer
on the AM dial:
the sound of summer
corked with amber
My granddad sits
in his favorite spot
working The Times
Sunday crossword puzzle
The knock of the ball
against the bat
The announcer's call
reaching the upper deck
His pencil hovers
over 39 Down
A six-letter word
for unfilled
The Reds are looking
like they might stand a chance
Same time and place
tomorrow, fans

The hopes and dreams of sports fans!
You know you might be the only one writing about Baseball, when the whole world is talking Football (your soccer).
The words paint a familiar, yet so very comforting picture. I can't picture a sunday morning without my dad and grandma exchanging pages of a newspaper in it.
Charles, perennial!
Aniket, you know me. Always having to be different.
I miss my granddad. Dammit.
