Baseball Birthdays: May twenty-first

Earl Averill was an Indian who often got to third base.
He once got on an airplane with a bat inside a gun case.

Bobby Cox, famed manager, was very well respected.
He holds the record for the skipper who’s been most ejected.

Kent Hrbek could hit like heck and was a lifetime Twin.
He got them to the series twice, and both times helped them win.

Bob Molinaro, Newark born, played outfield for five teams.
He hit two-sixty-four in eight years, not the stuff of dreams.
