Poets are like baseball pitchers. Both have their moments. The intervals are the tough things.

Robert Frost

Frost’s favorite baseball team was the Boston Red Sox; his favorite player was Ted Williams. After attending an all-star game in Washington in 1956, Frost wrote a story for Sports Illustrated, “A Perfect Day – A Day of Prowess.”
