“Poets are like baseball pitchers. Both have their moments. The intervals are the tough things.” — Robert Frost

It’s been broadly acknowledged that baseball is the most lyrical of all sports—the one whose natural flow lends itself to poetic rhythm and meter more than any other. Here Comes The Pizzer: The Found Poetry of Baseball Broadcasts recognizes this natural marriage of baseball and rhythm and takes it to the next level. Dozens of poets, researchers, writers, and historians have joined together through the Society for American Baseball Research to create this anthology of the words of the greatest broadcasters in baseball history, fashioned into new and innovative found poems.

Editor Eric Poulin has curated a collection of poems that alternate from wildly humorous to deeply poignant, as the words of legends like Vin Scully, Harry Caray, Red Barber, and Mel Allen sit gracefully alongside those of Dallas Braden, Jerry Remy, and even Snoop Dogg. Collectively, this anthology spans the range of human emotion while being fully grounded in the ebbs and flows of our National Pastime.

Poulin is a Professor of Library and Information Science at Simmons University, and is a member of the Society for American Baseball Research.

Contributors include: Jim Armenti, Gabriel Bogart, Kurt Blumenau, Frank Cressotti, Dan D’Addona, T.S. Flynn, Harrison Golden, Pallas Gutierrez, Joanne Hulbert, Molly McClure, Jordan Nielsen, Ray L. Nielsen, Byron Petraroja, Eric Poulin, Mark Schwaber, Hart Seely, Mark S. Sternman, Cecilia Tan, James R. Walker, Tim Wiles, Robert Zussman.
