Mike Shannon - "A Little Extra Sock"

Somewhere back in the sixties
I remember reading that
Aaron or Mays - someone of that caliber -
Fearing for the moral effect on America's youth,
Never allowed himself to be photographed
Having a post-game smoke in the clubhouse

Around the same time in the sixties
Norm Cash of the Tigers was belting homers
With a little extra sock -
Barrels filled with secret cork.


The Day Satchel Paige and the Pittsburgh Crawfords Came to Hertford, N.C.
