Baseball Birthdays: March twenty-fifth

Woody Held was traded to the tribe for Roger Maris.
Played fifteen years and, though no star, his stats do not embarrass.

Lee Mazzilli homered in his first All Star at-bat.
He had such lovely hair it seemed a sin to wear a hat.

Tom Glavine won three-hundred games for Braves (and Mets, as well).
He could have become just as famous in the NHL.

Jeff Kunkle’s dad happened to be a longtime A.L. ump.
He couldn’t help his son’s career, eight years, then in the dump.
