The symmetry of the game is enduring
Change does happen
The field deepens and shortens
The walls go higher and lower
But the symmetry remains
Nine playing
The ball with the defense
Not the offense like other games
The players on each side
Uniform in desire
And clothing
Against the summer heat
The coaches grumble
The manager manages
And the umpires keep the ball
And the players
Between the lines
My mother’s generation
Her father’s generation
Would recognize and be comfortable watching
The symmetry of the games remains
