Baron’s Corner

’Tis the holidays for the Phillies, Citizens Bank Park.

Citizens Bank Park has no season

Why? The holidays are the reason

Not a creature is stirring in the place

Including the Phanatic in his locker space

Pinstriped uniforms once hung with care

But now the clubhouse is totally bare

Up in the stands where fans cheer

All is completely quiet to anyone’s ear

A giant Christmas tree stands so tall

Dwarfing Mike Schmidt’s statue and all

While nestling in for a long winter’s nap

One can visualize what will soon be on tap

In a matter of weeks, boxes of gear

Will head south for another year

But, first let it be known

Players are at a place called home

Celebrating with family so dear

During this time of holiday cheer

Come April players will once again roam

In their Philly baseball home

But, for now, we hear Phanta Claus call:

Happy Holidays to one and all!”
