J. A. Happ Poem by Kim Barney
J. A. Happ
James Anthony was born this day
in nineteen eighty-two.
Let's all give him a birthday wish;
it's what we ought to do.
It seems to me, though, think of it:
a birthday wish is sappy.
Yes, that's so lame; with his last name,
his birthday's always Happy!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
James Anthony Happ, a pitcher for the New York Yankees, was brought in as a relief pitcher in today's game with the Houston Astros. He got to pitch on his thirty-seventh birthday!
At the time of this writing, the bottom of the third inning is just starting, and the Astros lead 3-1, but Happ did not give up any of those three runs.
If the Astros win today, they will play the Washington Nationals in the World Series. If the Yankees win, they will play the Astros again tomorrow. Winner of that game moves on; loser is finished for the year.
