Mr. All*Star

Created by Tomas Rodriguez

I'm an all-star without the hat,
without the stars…
When I get up to bat,
I hit the ball far.

I don't need to start the game
or be in the lineup.
I know I'm a star
even if I'm not in it.

Some got it,
some don't…
Know who you are
because some won't.

I live the life of an all-star,
give me some clout.
Gave up one earned run
in 28 innings,
with a shutout.

That was said,
don't need the hat or the shirt.
When I'm running those bases,
I hit the dirt.

I'm an All*Star without the hat,
without the stars.
If you look at my knees,
you will for sure see the scars.

Art piece inspired by when I used to play Little League as a kid.
