New Site for Baseball Poetry

I just found this fun, new site, and I wanted to share it with all you Florida Marlins fans.  It's called Bardball, and it's attempting to revive the lost art of "baseball doggerel."  They're always looking for writers to document their team's season in verse form (what a great opportunity to bust out your poetry chops!)

If you think you've heard everything about the Barry Bonds situation, you might want to check out the "Barry Bonds Limerick Challenge" which is sure to give you a laugh with gems in it like this:
Barry Bonds put himself to the test,
To beat Babe Ruth's tally his quest.
To be home run king,
He would try anything.
So what if he grew some huge breasts?

They have a poem up for the Florida Marlins called "Marlins Poem," but it looks like they could use some more.  They want to memorialize the entire season across the country in verse form.  So if you Marlins fans have any ideas, go to bardball.com and submit your rhymes.

Enjoy!
