Baseball Birthdays: May twenty-seventh

"Pinky" Higgins managed Red Sox, but his rule was lax.
One thing made clear by his roster: he did not like blacks.

Jerry Kindall played nine years of infield, long and lean.
He had some pop, but awful lifetime average: two-thirteen.

Jeff Bagwell was an Astro for his fifteen year career.
He had great numbers. Whether they’re enhanced is still not clear.

Frank Thomas, in his sixteen years with White Sox, smoked the ball.
The "Big Hurt’s" big statistics land him this year in the Hall.
