Baseball Birthdays: April fifth

Big Bill Dineen was pitcher, then an umpire, pray tell.
The only man to toss a no-no and call one as well.

Ron Hansen had a rare unassisted triple play.
A tall shortstop who hit his weight, not seen much in his day.

Rennie Stennett once had seven base hits in a game.
In a good ten year career, that was his claim to fame.

Cris Carpenter won twenty in his short stint as a Card.
Succeeded by a better Carpenter. Ouch. Life is hard.
