Baseball Birthdays: June fifteenth

Billy Williams had a sweet swing, mostly as a Cub.
They never made the playoffs with him. Therein lies the rub.

Dusty Baker managed twenty years and played nineteen.
Was in the on deck circle when Hank hit seven-fifteen.

Lance Parrish was an all star catcher, mostly with Detroit.
Not only could he bash the ball, his fielding was adroit.

Wade Boggs spent the eighties getting hits and eating chicken.
He won five batting titles and enjoyed a lot of lickin’.
