Baseball's Sad Lexicon

These are the saddest of possible words,
"Tinker-to-Evers-Chance"
Trio of Bear Cubs fleeter than birds,
Tinker and Evers and Chance,
Ruthlessly pricking our gonfalon bubble,
Making a Giant hit into a double,
Words that are weighty with nothing but Trouble.
"Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance."

Franklin P. Adams
