Watching you hitting – v2

Those in the pantheon, our heroes,
Those in the Hall of Fame,
Standing together, smiling,
Watching you hitting,
Before the season began.
 
So much history, perspective,
So much potential, talent,
A career burgeoning,
So much promise, palpable,
Getting ready to explode.
 
They could testify, proclaim,
What they were seeing,
Watching you hitting,
Getting warmed up,
Before the season began.

“All 3 were great hitters, all are @RedSox royalty,
Williams, Yastremski, AND Boggs.”
