...And all the men and women merely players.
It's haiku day - Westernised 5-7-5 format. I'll start:

Veteran shooter
Hot or cold; when turned sideways
He can disappear
I know that Bo has a couple up his sleeve.

Waved away by the umpire
Say something new, please

thedoctor, you beat me to it! Your middle line could be "Any could coach them and win".

Curious Moose - clever, but to explain - I was running the idea of Six Word Match Reports past Bo by email, and then thought of Haiku player profiles and match reports, so we traded a couple to see if it was worth a shot.
