These juxtaposed mentions of double-plays and distances between towns has left me thinking of this:
These are the saddest of possible words: "Tinker to Evers to Chance." Trio of bear cubs, and fleeter than birds, Tinker and Evers and Chance. Ruthlessly pricking our gonfalon bubble, Making a Giant hit into a double – Words that are heavy with nothing but trouble: "Tinker to Evers to Chance." - Franklin Pierce Adams

Trio of bear cubs, and fleeter than birds,
Tinker and Evers and Chance.

Making a Giant hit into a double –
