[KazooMan]

Graham and Gardenhire, Augie and Gus
Bibb Falk and Harmon – the windmill was nuts

James Street and Huston, put out the lights
But James was better at starting fights

Clemons and Hooton, Shane and Brooks
All could throw, but none liked the books

Dressendorfer and Creel, Ruffin and Cook
Gleaton and Capel and Acker – all kooks

Dave Chalk, Killingsworth, and John Langerhans
“Hey, Jose – did you wash your hands?”

Gideon and Moreland (retiring his number)
Preston and Brandon could bring the lumber!

Calvin Murray had speed, and Bates could pick it
Gideon (more than once) told Bible to stick it.

Brumley’s catch a great memory (I was there)
With Schiraldi sticking his horns in the air

Teagarden and Tolentino – two great T’s
And Jose’s sister was quite the tease

Swindell and the Ricks (Wortham and Wright)
Scotts (Bryant and Coolbaugh) –they all got it right

Wood freezing BC – the longest fight
But the best I’ve seen was the guy named Spike!

Jim Bouton.

Maybe not the best player, but the best book by a player.

Kazoo Man, you got that right! It's time to break out Ball Four for my yearly reading ...
