Baseball Birthdays: March twenty-eighth

Lon Warneke threw his best year by far for Cubs in thirty-two.
He got them to the series, but was swept by Yankees, Babe and Lou.

Vic Raschi was the "Springfield Rifle." His right arm was like a gun.
After years with Yankees, he served Aaron’s homer number one.

Glenn Davis was a powerful first sacker for the eighties ‘Stros.
Got traded, hurt, released, played in Japan. And that’s the way it goes.

Mike Fitzgerald homered for the Mets his first time at the plate.
Was swapped for Gary Carter, legendary Expos backstop great.
