A to Z with Farmstros

I have two young children, which means in the last five years I have read about 100 different ABC books with a multitude of themes. With Spring Training getting rolling this week, it seems appropriate to add an ABC poem to the landscape. Here it is: A to Z with Farmstros...

A is for the Astros, the Greeneville nine, it’s true

B is for Buses, there’s no doubt they’ll ride a few

C’s for Collin DeLome, how will his ’08 go?

D is for Dell Diamond, Farmstros last stop ere the show

E is for the Errors…E5, E6, E8!

F is for a First round pick, hope this year’s turns out great

G is for Gervacio whose arm may take him far

H must be for Hunter, who now wears a Houston star

I’s for Independent Leagues, United and Frontier

Where guys like Paz and Just, now Farmstros, played their ball last year

K is for the Strikeouts that Bud Norris will amass

L is for the Legends who play A ball, lower class

M is for Missed signals, and the chaos that ensues

N is for the Nifty catch that ends up on YOU TUBE

O is for Off-Season when we wait and watch for Spring

P is for Paulino, hope he has the stuff to bring

Q is for Quinteros, Houston’s system now has two

R’s the guy in Rookie ball who’s quickly passing through

S is Salem, Sergios, and Sally League as well

Three promotions in one season is a Tale That Towles can Tell

U’s Undrafted players, Icenogle comes to mind

V is for the Valley Cats, that’s the Tri-City kind

W’s Whataburger Field, where Hooks oft play their games

X? the Extra effort by the Farmstros every game

Y is for Yordany, will he be the next big thing?

Which brings us up to Z, the BUZZ that each spring training brings.
