Grand Slam Limerick Jam
Our top three limerick writers will win tickets to the Pit Spitters Back to School Game and a chance to read their limericks to the stadium before the first pitch is thrown!
Young writers ages 8-18 are eligible to participate. Additionally, the winner will receive a $100 grand prize, the runner up will get $50, and third place will get $25.
A little about limericks:
- Limericks are five line poems
- Lines 1, 2, and 5 rhyme with each other.
- Lines 3 and 4 rhyme with each other.
- They’re often really funny!
- They have a specific syllable pattern that goes:
da DUM da da DUM da da DUM
da DUM da da DUM da da DUM
da DUM da da DUM
da DUM da da DUM
da DUM da da DUM da da DUM
(You can hear this in the famous Hickeroy, Dickory, Dock poem!)
Deadline to submit is July 25, 2025.
Submit your limerick about the Pit Spitters, baseball, or going back to school for a chance to win!
