Baseball Birthdays: April thirtieth

"Babe" Danzig played six games for Red Sox in nineteen-oh-nine.
Had two hits in thirteen at bats, died young: life is unkind.

Bob Hendley threw a one-hitter with Cubs, his claim to fame.
Unfortunately lost, to Sandy Koufax perfect game.

Phil Garner, in his playing days, was oft considered brash.
He won one ring and managed, but is known for his mustache.

Joe Strain played infield just three years, as Giant, then as Cub.
His Wikipedia bio’s so short it’s called a "stub."
