Baseball Birthdays: April nineteenth

Bucky Walters pitched the Reds to series victory.
In thirty-nine, he was sublime, the N.L. MVP.

Harry Craft played until service called in forty-two.
Became first manager of Colts and, later, Astros, too.

Rick Miller broke in with the Sox and then came back again.
But center field was given to a kid named Freddie Lynn.

Frank Viola, with the Twins, won series MVP.
And next year won Cy Young award, a crafty lefty he.
