Baseball Birthdays: May thirty-first

Ray Washburn pitched nine years for Cards, helped them to series twice.
His hot year was in sixty-eight, no-hitter adding spice.

Tippy Martinez saved games in years when O’s were winning.
Back in eighty-three picked off three Blue Jays in one inning.

Kenny Lofton played one season each, ten different teams.
His seven years in Cleveland were his stable times, it seems.

Jake Peavey won a Cy with Padres. Strikeouts were his thing.
Now he’s on the hill for Boston, where he won his ring.
