My Team.

Michael A. Watkins 1965 (san diego)



we got Manny and Tatis jr.
cronenworth and Myers,
with the spirit to win games
the whole city's on fire,
I think this is the season
when God answers my prayer,
with a run for the world series
to quiet the naysayer,
the friar-faithful stands as 1
for Mark "the shark " Melancon,
team effort, love and pride
will always get the job done,
who's my favorite team-
my hat and clothes will show,
for the rest of you that don't know
it's the Padres of San Diego.

By. Michael A. Watkins.
