Baseball Birthdays: June twenty-fourth

Don Mincher’s last hit was a pincher, in A’s series win.
As Senator, he’d turned into both Ranger and a Twin.

Ken Reitz had two stints with the Cards and played a good third base.
He was slow, though, evidenced by his GIDP pace.

George Vukovich won his ring in his Phillie playing days.
After three years there, he went to Cleveland for Von Hayes.

Doug Jones, a five-time all star, threw sixteen years in the show.
He pitched relief, gave batters grief. His tosses were quite slow.
