New York Divorce by Robert L. Harrison

Take an interesting look at a family divided on the home field, together at a common playing field, but yet still divided by a ballpark and a league in this great Robert L. Harrison poem titled New York Divorce.

"The court gave him the best home dates to root for their team, as a family." - Robert L. Harrison

Relaxing with his son
watching the Mets,
sharing the good times
together.
The court gave him
the best home dates
to root for their team
    Relaxing with her son
watching the Yankees,
sharing the good times
together.
The court gave her
the best home dates
to root for their team

as a family.

This poem's simplicity speaks volumes. It has been published in Green Fields & White Lines, Mudville Diaries and New York Baseball Poems.

Perhaps one day in the future, their son will play in the big leagues for a completely different American League team and a new poem can be written.
