-William's resumé / please adjust the curvature of the brims of your caps

to indicate the era in which you played the game, and be seated-

he sports a baggy uniform, bats left,

choke's-up 3 fingers as coached

and favors a closed stance in the box.

he crowds the plate, can’t hit for shit,

but bunts with reasonable accuracy.

good speed up the first base line,

throws left, although long range attempts

display a cork-arm's tendencies. 

he plays the position bequeathed

to him by Teddy Ballgame, and calculates

the arc of a high fly ball to a proof.

he was nearly beaned facing

Johnny Santos, "Espírito Santo" fast-baller,

and once shook the hand of Red Sox speedster,

Gene Stephens during testimonial festivities

at the close of the CYO’s ’59 Season

held at "Venus de Milo" banquet hall,

Route 6 West, Swansea, Massachusetts,

just over the Fall River line,–– choosing

the chicken offering over the fish offering.
