Baseball Birthdays: May tenth

Ken Berry was a gold glove center fielder in the junior loop.
He was quite graceful in the outfield, like his namesake from F Troop.

John Cumberland had fifteen lifetime wins and not the best of arms.
The one best hope is that he somehow was connected to the Farms.

Joey Meyer hit the longest homer in pro history.
Why he couldn’t make it with Milwaukee’s still a mystery.

Robby Thompson played for San Francisco through his whole career.
Beaned in ninety-three by Hoffman. After that, he hit in fear.
