Every now and then we like to hold contests so our dear readers can win sweet stuff on the internet. This time, we'd like to share a copy of Andy Strasberg's Baseball Fantography : A Celebration in Snapshots and Stories from the Fans.
This book kicks ass. It would look great on your coffee table, but if you don't have one of those you could always set it next to the toilet. Wherever it is, people will want to open it. When they do, they'll fall in love with it.
Considering we're in the middle of our Season Previews -- which we lazily do in haiku form in case you're new around here -- we thought it appropriate to make this a baseball haiku contest.
The rules are simple. Choose from one of these three options:
Leave your haiku as a comment to this post
Share your haiku on our Facebook wall
Send us your haiku via Twitter to @babeslovebball
Obviously, the topic must be baseball-related. We'll pick the one we like best this Friday (March 23, 2012) and the author will get this awesome book in the mail shortly thereafter. Don't be shy. Good luck and happy haiku-ing everyone!

a sure sign of spring
bright green fields and rich brown dirt
chalk white as heaven
Nishi and Harper
Both start season in minors
Who will be called first?
(Note: You didn't post a stanza maximum, so I'm turning mine into a saga)
Last May in Mer'lan,
Went to see M's play O's as
A Northwest ex-pat
Last day of exams
Brain is fried, traffic delay
Found a parking spot
Walking to Camden
A robin shat on my arm
Is this an omen?
The M's lose 5-4
I got a parking ticket
This is a true tale
