I was a pretty good pitcher in the minors,
even in the Federal League’s year
as an independent minor league
I appeared in three games
in the Federal League’s first year as a major league
and struggled some there
Why am I here? you might be asking
Because I’m one of those statistical anomalies
that baseball fans love:
out of the tens of thousands who’ve played major-league ball
I’m the only one whose birth certificate
gives his birthplace as
“At sea, on the Atlantic Ocean”
