My favorite ballgame companions are Lewis Cheryl and Ruth
others are fun to sit with but social chatting lacks interest in the game
the circumstance of a pitch
a full-count meatball floated in, hurrying out
a pitcher knocking on the door of the The Hall
a hard bang on the Green Monster wall.

Section 17 has a great view but
chairs are close and small
I bought a resell for today’s game
the seller kept one for himself
he acted gruff like a Medford Dorchester man
I’m thinking he’s thinking it’s gay to introduce ourselves
we preserved our dignity with a couple impersonal remarks
he bitched JD Martinez had a day off
I said Devers struck out last time on a splitter from deGrom and
we shook hands after the game.
