Baseball Birthdays: March twenty-fourth

George Sisler’s Hall of Fame cred is his most hits in a season.
He also hit four-twenty if you need another reason.

Jesus Alou played fifteen years but seldom took it deep.
The main complaint was that he ain’t no Matty or Felipe.

Gary Templeton was just one very coked-up Card.
Got traded to the Padres and then life got really hard.

Bruce Hurst still hurts when "Who’s On First" reminds him of this thing:
With one more out he could have had his own World Series ring.
