It started out as a promotional line reading with a rhyme and now it’s a book.
Texas Rangers’ Hall of Fame radio announcer Eric Nadel and partner Matt Hicks joked on air about how the promotion would be made better with a limerick. You know limericks, right? The five-line pieces of technically specific poetry often finish with an off-color bit of humor, or at least the ones you remember. The first, second and fifth lines contain seven to 10 syllables while also rhyming.
Texas Rangers’ Hall of Famer radio announcer Eric Nadel has self-published a book of limericks after integrating a newly-written limerick into each game through much of the 2018 season.
