Epitaph on a Bunch of Ballplayers



The San Francisco Giants have removed most of the more prominent Barry Bonds-related sigange from their ballpark.
These, in the days when heaven was falling,
The hour when season ticket holders fled,
Followed their mercenary calling,
And took their steroids, and are indicted.

Their shoulders: bulwarks erected;
They swung, and drove balls into the Bay;
Without inspections, they injected,
And saved the greatest game for pay.
