Chuck Yeager (1923-2020) was a United States Air Force aviator. He rose to a rank of Brigadier General, but he had preciously been well recognized for his flying exploits. Besides being a flying ace, he became the first pilot to exceed the speed of sound on a level flight in 1947.

Grown men now at play
Life’s daily fabric
Clothed around baseball
Game’s timeless rhythm

A few of the stanzas deserve some additional notes. The “Bambino” refers to baseball legend George Herman (Babe) Ruth. The center fielders are Mickey Mantle (Yankees), Duke Snider (Dodgers), and Willie Mays (Giants). All played at the same time during the 1950s. Mantle and Maris refer to Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris, who played for the Yankees. In 1961, their personal home run derby propelled Maris to hit a then-record 61 home runs for a season, with Mantle close behind with 54.

A team is where a boy can prove his courage on his own. A gang is where a coward goes to hide.
What you are thinking, what shape your mind is, is what makes the biggest difference of all.
Mickey Mantle played his entire career of 18 seasons with the New York Yankees. The “Mick” combined outfielder’s speed with the power of a slugger (over 500 home runs). In 1956, his hitting exploits earned him the Triple Crown (leading the American League in batting average, home runs, and runs batted in. He has long been considered one of baseball’s most outstanding switch hitters.
Outfielder Willie Mays played most of his career with the Giants (New York and San Francisco). During his 22 seasons, he was renowned for his defensive play, timely hitting (over 3,000 career hits), and slugging power (over 600 home runs). The “Say Hey Kid” is regarded as one of baseball’s greatest all-around players.

Witnessing child’s growth
Harvesting learning each day—
Inquisitive mind
Listen with purpose
Endless landscape never rests—
Even silence speaks
Never one regret
Lifetime’s sweethearts together—
Day’s sunny side up
