It's 5-7-5, dammit!

I figured I'd start this in honor of National Haiku Month (thanks, Ilk of Zeke).

Great Tom Emanski
Your videos get results
Fred McGriff says so.

 

Back-to-back-to-back
champions, or so Tom says
get better unis

 

The kid in center
throws the ball toward the plate
and in the trash can

 

Baseball defense tapes?
Not as good as those Tom House
pitching videos

Nolan sure agrees
all of Tom's pitching theories
helps longevity

 

Thomas Emanski
Baseball video savior
No one buys your tapes

 

I always wondered
if all of those fine students
made their travel team

 

Tom House emphasized:
Throw footballs to build arm strength
... But his QBs sucked.

 

Does Tom know pitching?
His biggest play was catching
Aaron's home-run ball

 

Hank steps to the plate
BYH craps his diaper
Dad: "It won't happen."

Heads to change junior
Aaron launches seven one five
My dad still hates me

 

Downing threw the pitch
Milo Hamilton called it
That ball went bye-bye

Time for me to go
Unless I come back to write
about Hit-A-Way

 

Non-haiku jack...can you imagine the fear that went thru Hank's head when those guys slapped him on the back? He'd gotten all sorts of racist death threat bullshit in the mail. For a split second, he probably thought a couple loons were going to off him before he made the HR official.

There was some special about Hank a few years ago in which one of the back-slappers was interviewed. The other declined an interview request.

Maybe if Bonds gets to 756, someone can serve him with a summons as he trots between second and third.

 

Emanski doesn't
Need haikus or fancy schmucks
Pimping his cool shit
