Baseball Birthdays: April twenty-third

Harry Coveleski’s pitching record wasn’t great.
Was called "The Giant Killer" for his exploits in oh-eight.

Jim Bottomley was so upbeat that "Sunny" was his name.
He still co-holds the record for most ribbies in a game.

Warren Spahn amassed more wins than any lefty, ever.
A longtime Brave with high leg kick, he was both fast and clever.

Andruw Jones won ten gold gloves for Braves in center field.
He’s still a DH in Japan, will bend but will not yield.
