NEW YORK: AUTUMN 2001
Up from the ashes
with a toss
from Jeter
coming from nowhere
to save the game
and the season
(the best play ever?),
The Men in Pinstripes
rising from the dust
of buildings and lost lives,
The American Spirit
resurrected
with The Sport of Baseball
and The New York Yankees
and The Miracle at Home.
