those who know me know I have little interest in sports.
however when I was 12 I met Al Rosen. & since the Cleveland Indians were ubiquitous in northern Ohio I had a brief affair with baseball. somewhere I have a signd picture of Rosen. & a 1956 letter from him is in my papers at Kent State.
thinking back I bet my infatuation with Rosen was partially because he was a gorgeous man.
I wrote this prose poem in his honor. it first appeard in the baseball issue of Io in 1971. & that same year it was one of the prose poems that Steven Saylor turnd into glamorous broadsides for our portfolio The Origin of Oregano.
