Connie Mack created his name to fit in the box score.
Like an immigrant’s change of spelling when he got to America’s shore.

Good pitching …

Home Run Baker hit one off Marquard, one off Matty.
McGraw took it hard.
Because homers’ weren’t common to the game,
These two earned Frank his name.
Giants thought they’d be boss.
As it turned out. They lost.
