The Deadball Era
when it comes to baseball
there was one team that we shall
remember from it's past
it's the nineteen twenty seven
N.Y Yankees
amidst this legendary collection
you shall find the hotest team
that ever played baseball
starting with their owner Jacob Ruppert
followed by his general manager Ed Burrow
not to mention the players
starting At first base was Lou Gehrig
rounding second was Tony Lazzeri playing
shortstop was Mark Koenig and
heading for third was Joe Dugan and
at home plate was their catcher Pat Collins
And in the Yankee outfield were right fielder
Babe Ruth center fielder Earl Combs and
left fielder was Bob Meusel
Now let me introduce you to some of their starting pitchers
we have Wait Hoyt or you may like to see in
Herb Pennock or even maybe George Pipgras
and if thats not good enought then they had
Dutch Ruether and Urban Schocker and don't forget
about the releif pitchers Myles Thomas and Bob Shawkey
along with Joe Giard and Walter Beall while
closing their games with Wiley Moore
As one Washington Senator named Joe Judge said
when they got tromped 21-1 in their game
was these fellows not only beat you
but they tear your heart out
So From the chilling mocking Murder's Row
of the dead ball era comes to you a great
team of players that is now safe at home
In Memory Of The 1927 Yankee's
May You All Be
Angels In The Outfield
