RIP Shankee Shuttle, a poem by Adam "The Canadian Wonder" Webb

Here's to the shuttle

Of Shankee lore
Here's to its hustle
And sliding door.

Here's to the shuttle
Which did just that
It went on (much much) longer
Than Nico's hat.

Here's to the shuttle
Which ran out of time
It went down swinging
And pitched all nine.

Here's to the shuttle
On the diamond in the skies
May it hit homeruns
Or at least sac flies

Here's to the shuttle
Which made it all the way
It's the heaven shuttle now
To Abner Doubleday.

Two big ole shots of bourbon and a whole case of gameballs to the dearly departed Shankee Shuttle.

The shuttle died the last game of the season. However it went out in style and with a win.
