Baseball Birthdays: June second

Jim Maloney threw quite hard and often made Reds proud.
Had three career no-hitters, one later disallowed.

Horace Clarke played second after Richardson retired.
His hitting was a plinking thing, his fielding uninspired.

Gene Michael was nicknamed "Stick." It referred to his size.
As two-time manager of Yanks, he made moves deemed as wise.

Marshall "Sheriff" Bridges liked to joke and kid and scam.
He was the first A.L.er to give up a series slam.
