Baseball Birthdays: April twenty-eighth

Tom Sturdivant twice won sixteen in Yankee pennant seasons,
Then bounced around for several years; arm troubles were the reasons.

Pedro Ramos lasted fifteen years of righty tosses.
With Senators and Twins he lead the league four times in losses.

Tom Browning, good Reds lefty, had a ring and perfect game.
He broke his arm while pitching, career-ending, quite a shame.

Barry Larkin, nineteen years a shortstop for the Reds,
Made the Hall, now oft is one of baseball’s talking heads.
