Baseball (Haiku)

Baseball in playoffs
Greatest time to watch the game
Played the way it should

Playing since April
These teams won the most series
These teams are the best

Through the rain and heat
Playing at home and trav'ling
Night and day for months

Soon down to four teams
For the division titles
Then there will be two

And one more series
For the World Championship
The best of the best

Since nineteen-o-five
Yearly except for war
There've been ninety three

"A good friend of mine used to say, 
'This is a very simple game. 
You throw the ball, 
You catch the ball, 
You hit the ball. 
Sometimes you win, 
Sometimes you lose, 
Sometimes it rains.'
Think about that for a while."
-- Nuke Laloosh in the movie, Bull Durham
