Baseball Birthdays: May twenty-eighth

Warren Giles for eighteen years was reigning N.L. chief.
He let two teams move from New York and caused a lot of grief.

Kirk Gibson hit a big home run and limped around the bases.
Amongst the baseball gods he’s got one of the better faces.

Bill Doran said "Yes, I can," in eight years with the ‘stros.
His second sacker records are all now Craig Biggio’s.

Jhonny Peralta, Cardinal shortstop, also plays third base.
Says he’s the only Johnny with the "H" in the right place.
