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?

I say Chance was the
best of these three! Tinker was probably the worst.
