Baseball Birthdays: June eighth

Van Lingle Mungo is the all-time baseball name.
To me he’d be an all star if he never played a game.

Dell Ennis was a menace. Yes, the guy could really hit.
His Phillies homer record lasted up until Mike Schmidt.

Mark "The Blade" Belanger won eight gold gloves with the O’s.
As good as he was at shortstop, he had his batting woes.

Kenji Johjima caught for four seasons in Seattle.
Then decided that Japan was where he’s rather battle.
