The apple hides
In centerfield
Waiting for the cue
The guest of honor 
Never arrives
 
The Mets lose again

Scott Bolohan’s poetry has twice been selected for the National Baseball Poetry Festival. He is a Yankee Stadium tour guide but loves going to Citi Field. He’s also the founder of The Twin Bill and host of its podcast. He submitted this using a very silly fake name when the Mets actually used to lose games before the Grimace Era.
