Baseball Birthdays: May sixth

Willie Mays, the "Say Hey Kid," just may have been the best.
He made The Catch. He made the Hall. You can look up the rest.

Russ Gibson lived the sixty-seven dream as a Red Sock.
He caught Bill Rohr’s near no-no, broken up by Howard’s knock.

Larry Anderson was in a bad trade. That’s the truth.
The Sox got him for Bagwell, biggest mistake since Babe Ruth.

Tom Bolton toiled for four teams but he didn’t often win.
He may be best remembered for his teeny, tiny chin.
