These are the saddest of possible words: <br />Tinker to Evers to Chance. <br />Trio of Bear-cubs, fleeter than birds, <br />Tinker to Evers to Chance. <br />Ruthlessly pricking our gonfalon bubble, <br />Making a Giant hit into a double -- <br />Words that are weighty with nothing but trouble: <br />Tinker to Evers to Chance.<br /><br />Franklin P. Adams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/baseball-s-sad-lexicon/
