Baseball Birthdays: May second

Eddie Collins’ teams were series champions six times.
Once was with the "Black Sox," but he was absolved of crimes.

Eddie Bressoud played both coasts for Giants, then back east,
Traded to the Red Sox for Don Buddin, fielding beast.

Gates Brown played thirteen years with Tigers, famous for pinch hits.
Got series ring and coached seven more years, then called it quits.

Hideki Irabu left Japan to be a Yank.
Pitched three years there, won two rings, then went into the tank.
