Baseball Birthdays: April twenty-seventh

Rogers Hornsby twice won triple crowns and MVP’s.
"The Rajah’s" personality, however, failed to please.

Enos Slaughter’s ‘mad dash’ home won Cards a series ring.
In long career, he won three more, a "Country" king of bling.

Willie Upshaw played first base for Jays and Cleveland, too.
He’s all time home run leader whose last name begins with "U.’

Chris Carpenter pitched good years for the Cards and won a Cy.
He won two rings, but had to hang it up, an injured guy.
