Baseball Birthdays: May eighteenth

Carroll Hardy played eight years. Perhaps the only fame he has
Is that he pinch hit for Williams and, a season later, Yaz.

Brooks Robinson, the "Human Vacuum," played a mean third base.
His sixteen gold gloves recognize how well he’d guard his space.

Reggie Jackson hit three homers in a series game,
With a swing so sweet a candy bar bore his first name.

Jim Sundberg caught for sixteen years, until his bones were creaking.
He makes his living nowadays with motivation speaking.
