It was hard to read in a photo,
but it was easy for a player to see:
"1938  CHICO  2017"

The game was played on the field Chico took command of, grooming it before every game and stowing the equipment after it, just so.

It was almost up to Chico's standards.

Dan Price was back,
insisting that his hamstring
heals faster than a speeding hamster.

Something there is savage
about Reed's swing,
even when they roll only
almost to the fence.

And something there is colorful
about Denny's . . .
oh . . . Denny's intentions,
even when. . . .

"Like this, guys:  left, right, left."

Went thataway!
