D-Train Inspires a New Poem

Willis' return is great news, and great news deserves to be commemorated.  So I slapped together a poem for his return and posted it to Bardball.com, a website I run for posting fans' poetry, songs and videos about the season.  Check it out if you want, you might like it!

My favorite line, if I do say so myself:

Your off-speed floating up and down,
Your hat too big like Charlie Brown’s.

Any Tiger poets and songwriters out there, we'd love to see your stuff.

Very nice! I loved it!

"It's designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything is new again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops, and leaves you to face the fall alone". A. Bartlett Giamatti
