Baseball Poem

When I go to a Red Sox Baseball Game.(Arts and Lifestyle)

The Boston Herald; 10/13/2003; Tardiff, Nicole

I can't explain

the feeling I get

when I go to

a Red Sox

baseball game.

It's like this

BANG of energy that rushes through my veins.

I'm free.

The air is filled with

the spices of

hot dogs, pizza,

Fenway freshly cut grass.

I love it.

Here

everyone is like me,

cheering on my fave

Red Sox players.

I'm not different.

Here

I fit in.
