Chance?
Pedestrian numbers as a player.
Successful, but rather brief tenure as a manager.
On the Baseball Reference HOF monitor he doesn't even come close to the HOF standards.
It had to be the poem, I suppose.
These are the saddest of possible words:
“Tinker to Evers to Chance.”
Trio of bear cubs, and fleeter than birds,
Tinker and Evers and Chance.
Ruthlessly pricking our gonfalon bubble,
Making a Giant hit into a double –
Words that are heavy with nothing but trouble:
“Tinker to Evers to Chance.”
Who would ever have elected Chance to Cooperstown if it wasn't for that gonfalon bubble?
