Charlie Root by Michael Ceraolo

 Charlie Root

I won over two hundred games,

but if I'm still known at all,

it's for something that never happened

The Babe didn't call his shot off me

in Game Three of the '32 Series

I think he was pointing at our bench,

saying that was only two strikes,

that he still had one left

If he had actually been pointing

to centerfield, calling his shot,

my next pitch would have knocked him on his ass
