Why baseman rhymes the way it does
To understand why baseman rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel — the short /æ/, written /æ/ — and the ending, which rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 264, assonance 6,619, and consonance 16. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Baseman works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
