W Is For Wagner - The Line-Up For Yesterday

Ogden Nash was an American bard who the New York Spells called one of the land's best known producers of poesy. In 1949 he produced a metrical composition called "The Extended mark-Up For Yesterday" which was published in Diversion Magazine.

In the piece of poetry, Nash created a schedule of the all time bulky baseball players and used one name for each alphabetic character of the alphabet. Honus Wagner made the catalogue for W:
W is for Wagner,
The bowlegged symmetry;
Short was closed to all commerce
With Honus on duty.Here is the consummate poem:
A is for Alex,
The enormous Alexander;
More Tailor's smoothing iron eggs he pitched
Than a of the people gander.

B is for Bresnahan,
Back of the lamina;
The Cubs were his be fond of,
and McGraw his bear malice to.

C is for Cobb,
Who grew spikes and not cereal grain,
And made all the basemen
Hanker they weren't born.

D is for Dean,
The grammatical Diz,
When they asked, Who's the tops?
Uttered correctly, I is.

E is for Evers,
His jaw in push;
Never afraid
To Mender with Chance.

F is for Fordham
And Frankie and Frisch;
I hanker he were back
With the Giants, I long.

G is for Gehrig,
The Self-esteem of the Stadium;
His take down pure gold,
His spunk, pure radium.

H is for Hornsby;
When pitching to Rog,
The jug would pitch,
Then the ewer would dodge.

I is for Me,
Not a impenetrable-hitting man,
But an due all-time
Past cure fan.

J is for Johnson
The Big Trail in his prime
Was so abstain from food he could throw
Three strikes at a duration.
