Yankees Win The Pennant Games ~ October 25, 2009


A 1947 Memory

California born -
in the second grade
principle of school
loved the World Series
and New York Yankees

Put on speakers
throughout whole school
studies on hold
as we listened

Excited
heard bat crack
we would cheer

New York
Yankees

Won!
