Who Am I?
HE CAME UP WITH THE SOX DURING THE WAR;
A BRIDGE EXPERT...HE COULDN’T KEEP SCORE.
HE’D BAT THREE-THIRTEEN IN THE PENNANT YEAR;
NOT MUCH POWER…BUT SOMETHING TO CHEER.
HE HAD A STRONG ARM…TURNED IN DOUBLE PLAYS;
YET YOU WOULDN’T COMPARE HIM TO WILLIE MAYS.
ONE OF HIS FINGERS…IT WAS MASHED;
CRUSHED BY A BALL DiMAGGIO SMASHED.
AGAINST THE REDBIRDS HE’D FILL IN FOR DOM;
“COUNTRY” RACED HOME…IT WAS FAR FROM CALM.
HE’D FINISH UP HIS CAREER WITH THE NATS;
HIS PLAYING-TIME LIMITED…FEW AT-BATS.
