Baseball Limericks

Danny Ainge

Tuesday, May 4, 2010 by SamM 

I don’t want to be here, said Ainge
Methinks it’s time for a change
Rather than make double plays
For the lowly Blue Jays
I’ll be shooting from three-point range

Don Mattingly

Tuesday, May 4, 2010 by SamM 

Up to the plate stepped Mattingly
Twirling his bat enchantingly
If hitting is an art
Then Don was a Mozart
Or maybe a Rembrandt, you see

Bill Lee

Tuesday, May 4, 2010 by SamM 

There once was a pitcher named Lee
A mystery from which planet came he
Whether part of the human race
Or a descendent from outer space
His antics will live through history

Pete Rose

Wednesday, April 21, 2010 by SamM 

There once was a Red named Rose
Who had a myriad of foes
Neither the Mets second B
Nor A. Bartlett Giamotti
Ever thought him the nicest of fellows

Bernie Carbo

Tuesday, April 20, 2010 by SamM 

There once was a slugger named Carbo
An in-the-clutch swinging maestro
High as a kite
Every single night
His homers would land in the Congo

Kent Tekulve

Tuesday, April 6, 2010 by SamM 

There once was a reliever named Tekulve
You young fellas might ask, who’s he?
Bespectacled and thin as a rail
His sidearm seemed to hail
All the way from Tallahassee

Barry Bonds and Defiance

Thursday, March 18, 2010 by PhilosopherStone 

Barry Bonds played his last with the Giants
Though not totally in full compliance
With biceps steroidal
He hit that spheroidal
With a certain amount of defiance

The North Side Cries Again

Wednesday, March 17, 2010 by StaunchSombrero 

The Cubs win The Series this year!
Redemption, fans vow, is quite near
Hope springs eternal
But the pain is infernal:
No shot at the playoffs, I fear.

Roger Clemens

Wednesday, March 17, 2010 by SamM 

There once was a pitcher named Roger
Who played until he was an old codger
Many would later deduce
He on some kind of juice
Yet he proved an effective truth dodger

Old “Forgive and Forget” Bradley

Wednesday, March 17, 2010 by James Finn Garner 

Because a hitter’s supposed to get hits,
Lou called Miltie a big piece of shit.
With a new gig in Seattle,
Milt’s still fighting old battles,
Showing the world that this shoe still fits.
