I was in my 1st semester of college in 2004 when David Ortiz helped the Red Sox win their first World Series in 86 years. Now I'm in my 1st semester of grad school as he takes the final at-bats of his professional career.

The team paid tribute to him this weekend with a video of Kevin Spacey reading Rudyard Kipling's "If" (link in the comments). I've never read Kipling, but now I want explore his work. Any favorites or advice on where to start?

Pinchclamp I've never read any other Kipling either, but this is one of - no, IS, my favorite poem. 8y
megt @Pinchclamp Poetry is a big gap in my reading. But this one is so beautiful! 8y

Megaled "If" is such a great poem. I never read a lot of his stuff but that one I still remember from high school-many years ago! Also I was watching the Ortiz pre game and when it was announced Kevin Spacey was reading "If" the people I was with all excited for Spacey, who is fab; but I was like just wait this poem will give you chills if read right. I'm such a dork lol 8y
Aseleener As a Cardinals fan, I distinctly remember that World Series! 😕 I was a brand-new fan; the whole thing was so exciting. 8y
megt @Megaled I think I have a mental block on any poem I ever had to read for school. Having to explicate them took all the fun out of reading! Spacey did a fab job with the narration (as if he wouldn't have). Definitely moving, especially in context of the day. 8y
megt @Aseleener 😕 I was born and raised a Red Sox fan, but only casually so (my family is more into football). Life was so emotional for me at that time for other reasons, so getting caught up in the excitement of that Series was definitely exciting and memorable. 8y
LitHousewife That World Series gave me hope that someday the Tigers would eventually win another one again in my lifetime. Not this year. 😩 8y
megt @LitHousewife fingers crossed for you and the Tigers next season! 8y
