Baseball Birthdays: May fourteenth

Earle Combs was leadoff hitter for the Yanks’ murderers’ row.
He played eleven years, replaced by Joe DiMaggio.

Dick Howser played and managed for the Yankees and K.C.
He guided Royals over Cards to series victory.

Tony Perez was the "Big Dog" in the Reds Machine.
Amongst its gnashing cogs he seemed to always be serene.

Roy Halladay, hard throwing "Doc," could pitch without fatigue.
He had two rings, a perfect game and won Cy’s in each league.
