DescriptionLetterpress printed poem by Tom Clark, titled "BASEBALL & CLASSICISM". BASEBALL AND CLASSICISM
Every day I peruse the box scores for hours
Sometimes I wonder why I do it
Since I am not going to take a test on it
And no one is going to give me the money
The pleasure's something like that of codes
Of deciphering an ancient alphabet say
So as brightly to picturize Eurydice
In the Elysian Fields on her perfect day
The day she went 5 for 5 against Vic Raschi
