Preston Gomez was called Pedro, down in Cuban climes.
Here he managed three teams, six years, finished last four times.

Tommy Hutton could have hit two-fifty were he faster.
Played good first for several years then became a broadcaster.

Milt Wilcox was a good third starter, Tigers ’84.
Won seventeen in season and in playoffs won two more.

Don Mattingly was dubbed by Yankee fans, "Donnie Baseball."
He never made the playoffs. And he’ll never make the Hall.
