Baseball Birthdays: March twenty-second

Ramon Martinez always said brother Pedro was better.
He was no slouch himself, had twenty wins and a no-hitter.

Glenallen Hill played outfield flies as if they all were sliders.
He may have used some steroids and was quite afraid of spiders.

Dick Ellsworth once won twenty-two games and played for five teams.
His baseball card in sixty-six showed dead Ken Hubbs, it seems.

Cory Lidle was a righty with a rep as brash.
Got traded to the Yankees and died in a freak plane crash.
