Baseball Birthdays: March twenty-ninth

"Cy" Young, the greatest pitcher ever, has his name on THE award.
With over five hundred wins, Denton, it’s True, is hurler’s lord.

Tommy Holmes’ hit streak was thirty-seven back in forty-five.
The Boston Braves fans loved him until his team’s fortunes took a dive.

Denny McClain was last hurler, with Tigers, to get thirty wins.
He got involved with gambling, drugs, and there the story just begins.

Billy Beane, as hitting prospect, never did pan out at all.
But, as Oakland A’s G.M., he linked his name to "Moneyball."
