Baseball Birthdays: June third

Jim Gentile, first sacker, had best years in Baltimore.
Five slams in one season. Only Mattingly has more.

Jim Dwyer played for seven teams, his best years with the O’s.
He got the nickname Pig Pen, perhaps for his dirty clothes?

Carl Everett was an outfielder who seemed to thrive on friction.
Amongst his odd pronouncements was that dinosaurs were fiction.

Steve Lyons, nicknamed "Psycho," was oft prone to bizarre antic.
Retired now, a broadcaster who must make censors frantic.
