Baseball Birthdays: March thirtieth

"Ripper" Collins was an aptly nicknamed gashouse Card.
He played a slick first base and hit the horsehide very hard.

Grady Little managed Boston, took ’em pretty far,
But always will be Pedro’d for not pulling out his star.

Jack Lazorko was a righty hurler from Hoboken.
He was no Frank Sinatra: five career wins, I’m not jokin’.

Terry Bross had zero career wins as mop-up man.
He did pitch one no-hitter, but it happened in Japan.
