Here is poem written the opposing team for an upcoming game, unfortunately I missed the game:
The Ballad of Charles White the Third
Today we face a team going nom-de-plume of AWESOME !
Whose abilities so far this season are just about to BLOSSOM .
The reason why? You ask of me, Just listen to my WORDS .
Here’s a tale about this beast: Charles White the THIRD .
They say he’s born not-of-man, but from the loins of OXEN .
His blood is made of mercury, a known and deadly TOXIN .
His muscles great and bountiful, twisted like a braided CABLE .
At the end of the day, he rests his head, locked up in a STABLE .
I once heard of a legend that he kicked a ball so HIGH ,
It left the Earth’s atmosphere and now orbits in the SKY .
I won’t tell tales out of school, you know. I wouldn’t lie to YOU …
But round town, they say that he is at least one-fourth KANGAROO …
The man is so fast that when he moves, space and time, they seem to BLEND .
When he’s on the telephone, he can talk to himself on the other END .
He can make the sixty feet to first in a single, leaping BOUND .
The cheetah bows down to him as the fastest on the GROUND .
The man’s so tough, he is compared to a modern day Paul BUNYAN .
No pain makes him shed a tear, not even cutting into an ONION .
Like Babe to PB, Charlie’s never away from his darling Max the PUG .
So maybe there is a soft side to this gorilla-mean, menacing THUG .
But Charlie’s just one man! I say! Do remember THAT .
Sure, he may get a hit in his one or two AT-BATS .
But we play the TEAM and not the MAN, so do not blur your SIGHT .
So Utica…Dear Utica, let’s go out there and FIGHT !Skip
