That is a cool piece.

Here is the full quote:

Boston Post (09-14-1948)
First we’ll use Spahn
then we’ll use Sain
Then an off day
followed by rain
Back will come Spahn
followed by Sain
And followed
we hope
by two days of rain.

"Fun Facts"
Warren Spahn once commented, "Guys who were kids forty years ago learned it as a nursery rhyme. Now they meet me and say, 'Oh, you're that Spahn.'"

Why did Gerald Hern write the poem? He had heard Billy Southworth, manager of the Boston Braves, say, "From here on I will rotate my pitching staff. Spahn one day, Sain the next."

Did you know that while the two immortalized teammates were on the team together they combined to win two-hundred twelve games?
