[ae37jr]

A Poetic Hit Trinidad's 2,500 hit was a thing of beauty.

On Tuesday, August 6th, 2058,
A legend in the making, in the baseball state,
Alfonso Trinidad, with his mighty swing,
Joined the ranks of the greats, a historic fling.

For the River Monsters, his team of pride,
He slammed his 2500th, with joy deep inside.
Against the Black Sox, they claimed the win,
6-2, the scoreboard, a celebratory din.

Manager's praise, like a sweet melody,
For Trinidad's prowess, for all to see.
Years of dedication, of sweat and toil,
Led to this moment, on a diamond soil.

Thirty-seven years young, still going strong,
With a bat in hand, he could never go wrong.
Two hits in four, his tally that day,
Adding to his legend in a grand array.

A .290 average, a mark of grace,
And a .343 OBP, in every base race.
Four hundred sixty-one homers, a power display,
Driving in runs, scoring day by day.

Alfonso Trinidad, a name to revere,
In the annals of baseball, his legacy clear.
A milestone reached, amidst cheers and applause,
A timeless hero, in the sport's noble cause.
