Nicely written tribute to one outstanding sports figure - I wish my critique could do justice to your write - but I'm not a fan of sports - but I agree he was "The Boss" and a well known figure in all of his endeavors with his passion in life. blessings, Deni

How very original. A poem about those dame Yankees. I like how each legend of that team gets a line or a mention within a line, the the lion's share going to the Boss, of course. Bravo
