A place in which we grieve over the torn UCL of Jordan Hicks - A Hunt and Peck

Nothing gold can stay.

MLB: Chicago Cubs at St. Louis Cardinals

A pitcher’s arm of gold,
The hardest fastball to hold.
His young UCL’s a flower,
But only so an hour.
Then while pitching in relief,
St. Louis sank to grief,
So Hick’s goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay.
