Van Lingle Mungo Poem
 

Posted By: <b>George</b><p>Thanks to Ted for jogging my memory about the Van Lingle Mungo poem. It came out in 1985, shortly after the death of its protagonist. It is a great poem.........but, unfortunately, I have lost my copy, and have been unable to find it. The words I remember are as follows:<br /><br />Honor now Van Lingle Mungo,<br />Pound the plate and hoist a fungo.<br /><br />Flaming fastball, fiery nature,<br />Famous for his nomenclature.<br /><br />If anyone knows, or has a copy of, the complete poem, I would love to have it.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />George
