Did Branca's pitch and Thompson's home run
change anything in 1951?
In Manhattan
there were children conceived
as part of the celebration.
Whereas, in Brooklyn
others got started,
in part, as consolation.
“There’s a divinity that shapes our ends,
rough-hew them how we will. . .”
“Best-laid schemes. . .gang aft agley. . .”
and that will continue until
we can produce cast iron cinches.
But until then, it's a game of inches.
(Having said that, I'll end this rhyme,
noting your “luck” is better if you steal the sign.)
