Default Sports Poetry

There's a long tradition of this, going back at least to the funeral games mentioned in Homer. Post your faves here.

I'll start with links to Ernest Lawrence Thayer's "Casey at the Bat" and Howard Nemerov's "Watching Football on TV" (you'll have to turn the virtual pages of the Poetry issue to read all seven stanzas of the latter).
