The best way to hit Sandy Koufax  
Is batting southpaw, in the tracks.  
But beware the curve  
If you’ve got the nerve  
He’s easiest hit with a pick-axe.

_**What I (sort of) had in mind when I wrote the first line was;**_

_The best way to hit Sandy Koufax  
Is to stand at the plate with a pick-axe.  
And when he turns around  
You’d run to the mound  
And strike him hard with at least six whacks._

_**(I only jumped in because it looked like the rhyme had stalled. Someone, please feel free to suggest a new first-line).**_

There once was a hermit named Dave
