Baseball Birthdays: May eleventh

Charlie Gehringer was dubbed "The Mechanical Man."
Had seven years two-hundred hits, a career Tiger man.

Rip Sewell learned his blooper pitch when injury made him lame.
Ted Williams hit one in the seats, forty-six All Star Game.

Milt Pappas came up young and had his best years for the O’s.
He won two-hundred games, pitched one no-hitter. So it goes.

Floyd Youmans won just thirty games, most of them as a starter.
He was in the big trade that brought Mets old Gary Carter.
