The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner
"Pat Borders has been called upon to alleviate the Seattle Mariners‘ catcher shortage. …. On Thursday, the Mariners acquired the 42-year-old Borders from the Milwaukee Brewers for cash."
============================
First went Dan … then went Wiki
Here comes Pat, his skills at best creaky
Over-40 catchers? How many could there be?
The Mariners cast their net on a fish that stinks to me

Seattle needn’t worry
Help is coming to town
Diane on Memorial Day will
Don the tools and squat down
1 is for fastball
2 deals a curve’s wrath
3 is for change up
If she only knew math…
The manager will hustle out
To the mound he will jog
Not to pull the pitcher but
to send Diane back to her blog
Brilliant … brilliant … freakin’ brilliant!
Bravo Mr. McCarthy!
Yes folks … I will in fact be in Seattle come Memorial Day, visiting friends and playing in a Scrabble tourney.
However, I believe my handedness (left), excessive height (6’3″) and non-MLB approved gender (uh … female), rather than any lack of catching skills will preclude me from donning the tools of ignorance.
