Baseball Birthdays: May twenty-fourth

Ellie Rodriguez had his moments, splitting catching chores.
He was behind the plate for Nolan’s no-no number four.

Bobby Brown was not the Doc nor A.L. President.

Rob Ducey was Canadian and broke in with the Jays.
His final club was Montreal, and then they parted ways.

Brad Penny pitched for six teams, two of them a series winner.
He threw quite hard and always looked as though he’d just had dinner.
