Ballad of the Beantowne Bosox

The Ballad of the Beantowne Bosox, 2004! Listen my children and you shall hear Of a Team and a Towne and a Heck of a Year! ?Twas the 16th of April, Two Thousand Four When the Bosox of Beantowne kicked off some Lore. Thus begins the most Magical Story in the History of Sport. On these pages, Championship Teamwork and Athleticism meet the nimble wit of a True Poetic Artisan. Greatness Achieved in Mythological Measure in Game Four, when Roberts steals second! Then Those Puckish gods of Baseball Fate Lounging in fields of clover, Were inventing the Curse of the Berra: ?It ain't over till it's over!? Great Pitching! Stuff Shakespeare would have written if he'd had a T.V.: As the games thus evened at three apiece, As to a seventh the Sox fought toward, They proved their Pen was Mightier Than the Yanks, who through three had soared! Relive this Odyssey of Homers! Revel again, through 295 verses of playful wordsmithery by a true Baseball Virtuoso, the play-by-play that brought Victory's Sweet Cup of Immortality to Boston! With Manny on, Ortiz makes Brown's first pitch Do a noise like ?Kablooie!? And sing as it clears the right-field wall, ?Meet me in St. Louie!? Destined to be a true classic, the clever wordplay on these pages is literature, history, sports entertainment and humor, all rolled into the Shared Memories of Greatness Achieved in Boston's Championship Year!Bates, Daniel is the author of 'Ballad of the Beantowne Bosox' with ISBN 9780595394562 and ISBN 0595394566.
