Great Regulars: The poet is Lynn Rigney Schott,

whose father, Bill Rigney, was a major league player and manager. I found her poem in Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend: Women Writers on Baseball .

I like the candid, unfussy way the baseball metaphors arrive: half the season for the midpoint of life at 35, warmups and the oiled glove for preparations not yet fulfilled.

from Robert Pinsky: The Washington Post: Poet's Choice
