Shooting for the Stars
Shooting for the Stars
A faraway land, a pitcher of grace,
Shota Imanaga sets foot in this place.
From NPB’s glory, his journey’s complete,
Chicago Cubs embrace him with hearts full of beat.
Across the Pacific, he sailed through the years,
With dreams in his eyes and unwavering cheers.
Eight years of dedication, honing his craft,
Now stepping on Wrigley, his legacy daft.
Baseballs will fly, like the wings of the brave,
Into the glove of a player who’s here to save.
Imanaga, the fire, ignites on the mound,
Cubs’ faithful rejoice, their spirits unbound.
Chicago’s winds whisper secrets unspoken,
As Shota’s fastball leaves batters heartbroken.
His sliders deceive, curveballs dance through the air,
A masterful dance, a pitcher so rare.
United we stand, a force strong and true,
In ivy-laden bleachers, we cheer with the crew.
Imanaga, the bridge, connecting two nations,
Baseball’s language spoken with exultation.
With Shota’s greatness, the Cubs soar high,
A bond that transcends boundaries, reaching the sky.
From diamond to diamond, his legacy blooms,
Imanaga’s arrival, a dream that consumes.
