Jon Lester
August 13, 2008
From oblivion he returned to play.
Despite Cancer clouding many a day.
With courage he mustered the strength to comeback.
And instead of Cancer winning, Lester went on the attack.
His confidence has peaked, he burns in strike one.
He dissects each hitter, until the game is won.
Lester wiggles out of trouble like a ten year vet.
Destroying every challenge he has ever met.
When the pressure tightens, Lester stays relaxed.
Never allowing his opponent a chance to comeback.
He navigates the game like the Captain of a ship.
Staying clear of danger and not letting a lead slip.
Lester is the one we want in the fray.
We proudly send him out every fifth day.
With Lester we know the game is in control.
He is the pitcher to keep us on our winning role.
