Baseball Birthdays: April twenty-first

Joe McCarthy helmed the Yanks from Babe up to The Clipper.
Bomber bats and pennant runs made him a happy skipper.

Gary Peters, savvy lefty, pitched for both White and Red Sox.
Also hit nineteen home runs, a menace in the batter’s box.

Jesse Orosco has two rings and many accolades.
He pitched more games than anyone and lasted four decades.

Ken Caminiti, when on steroids, blew up like a moose.
He won one N.L. MVP, but lost to drug abuse.
