Baseball Haiku 1-5

1
Complete games
aren’t what they used to be—
bullpens exploding

2
Pitcher wipes his brow,
sun peaks out from clouds—
there goes the runner!

3
It’s lonely on the bench
when you’re pitching well—
no-hitter brewing

4
Ash tree gave its life
for a thousand home runs—
Hall of Fame material

5
It’s past my bedtime
but I’ll listen all night—
extra innings
