Fair Ball

Audio Recordings, Family, Relationships / tagged Baseball, Childhood, Sport, Support / September 16, 2024 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

So what if my father
only came out once
to watch me play baseball

He was a busy man

I caught a hard line drive

Catching for the Wilcox Co-ops

The co-operative character of Canadians
has kept more than one Bay Street wolf at bay
and the Wheat Pool saved many farmers from sharks

The position I played was called back-catcher then
assuming every player on the field got to catch as well

The Co-op lumber yard sponsored our captainless team
and I got to put some lumber on the ball often but not far
Home runs are elitist anyway
everyone should have some chance to put a mitt on a hit

Paralympics in Paris

Audio Recordings / tagged Ability, Challenge, Competition, Excellence, Sport / August 28, 2024 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Every sport has its hurdles
where you are and where from there
and blocks before the starting blocks

Medals are medals and worth the winning
even if you bite the gold because you cannot see it

Celebrating the start of the Paralympic Games in Paris

Hockey Night in Canada

Nostalgia / tagged Hockey, Montreal Canadiens, Sport / February 19, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Every boy across the land
ears glued to the radio set

Leafs against the Habs

Battle
of the Plains of Abraham
fought again - shot by shot
