Baseball Birthdays: June ninth

Bill Virdon was an outfielder and manager of note.
He hit the ball that bounced up and hit Kubek in the throat.

Roy Smalley was a a shortstop with the Cubs, the Braves and Phils.
He had a shortstop son named Roy. It just gives me the chills.

Dave Parker was a Pirate and a two-time batting champ.
He played in those great days when Pittsburgh was a cocaine camp.

Randy Winn switch hit and ran the bases with some flash.
In college he played hoop. His fellow guard was one Steve Nash.
