Baseball Birthdays: April eleventh

Jim Hearn pitched his best years for Giants, in the Polo Grounds.
Had two inside-the-park home runs, nine total, which astounds.

Sid Monge pitched ten years relief. He came from Mexico.
His best years were with Cleveland, where he had an awesome ‘fro.

Bret Saberhagen, with the Royals, won two Cy’s, a no-no and a ring.
Pitched best in odd-numbered years there, which, unto itself’s a curious thing.

Jason Varitek, catcher, captain, helped the Red Sox break the "curse."
Caught four no-hitters and in plate collisions seldom came out worse.
