Hit or Miss

September 29, 2025 by Bill McNulty

On the field, pop up, fly out or base hit

Everyone waits for the umpire to call it.

Runner on the go, stolen base or thrown out

Is he safe or out, the replay will leave no doubt.

A home run or a great catch right at the wall.

Skill and luck help where you finish in the fall.

On the line, base hit with only a check swing.

Don’t all players dream of a World Series ring.

So every day, suit up and play the game.

Play it well, and the next stop, Hall of Fame.
