A Christmas poem

The prodigal beat writer got all artistic for Christmas:

Twas Christmas Day, and all through the ballpark,

Nary a prospect is lurking; Fox Cities Stadium was dark.

"We're excited to get to the new year," Rob Zerjav said —

The Rattlers president had visions of crowds in his head —

When he's out on the town or strolls through the mall,

"Everybody's starting to think about baseball."

* * *

You see, back in September, there occurred such a swap;

Longtime associate Seattle and Milwaukee made a flip-flop.

With ticket sales up 46 percent and fans full of cheer,

The team is on its second reorder of Rattlers/ Brewers co-branded gear.

* * *

"Group sales are up, and interest in corporate sponsorship is up," Zerjav added, his thoughts poetically focused on spring;

"After hearing other minor league teams talk about the struggles they're having with the economy, it's nice to know interest for us is on the upswing.

"It's been good to see our general fan base is growing because of the new affiliation" (another thought he conveyed).

"It's been busy to the point where it never really slows down. There's a little more life out here," he hoorayed.

Plenty more at the link. Nothing that tops conveyed-hoorayed, but there is reviewers-Brewers and pastime-climb.
