Here Comes The Pizzer: The Found Poetry of Baseball Broadcasts recognizes this natural marriage of baseball and rhythm and takes it to the next level. Dozens of poets, researchers, writers, and historians have joined together through the Society for American Baseball Research to create this anthology of the words of the greatest broadcasters in baseball history, fashioned into new and innovative found poems.Editor Eric Poulin has curated a collection of poems that alternate from wildly humorous to deeply poignant, as the words of legends like Vin Scully, Harry Caray, Red Barber, and Mel Allen sit gracefully alongside those of Dallas Braden, Jerry Remy, and even Snoop Dogg. Collectively, this anthology spans the range of human emotion while being fully grounded in the ebbs and flows of our National Pastime. Here Comes the Pizzer was the winner of the 2025 Twin Bill Book Prize for Best Baseball Poetry Book of the Year.Eric will be accompanied on jazz guitar by Mark Schwaber.
