1934

Ruth toured Japan.
They waved American flags.
Seven years later you gagged.
Pearl Harbor.
Ships destroyed like tin cans.

Generation gap

Violent and defiant,
The case against Ty.
A Teddy Bear who loved to swear.
Babe the storybook guy.

The philosopher

Recognizing America’s greed
Chadwick demanded players not gamble
Play without pay
Be a new breed.

St. Matty

Rowdy New York City
Idolized gentleman Christy Mathewson.
He didn’t play dirty.
Got down to the nitty gritty.
Had lots of bad luck.
Kept his head up.
Was dignified to the end.

Class struggle

Matty showed the working stiffs
You could be rich and tough.
They couldn’t get any hits.
He threw murderous stuff.
