Question: Does this poem have any allusion and where is it!?
THESE are the saddest of possible words:
Tinker to Evers to Chance!.
Trio of Bear-cubs, fleeter than birds,
Tinker to Evers to Chance!.
Ruthlessly pricking our gonfalon bubble,
Making a Giant hit into a double --
Words that are weighty with nothing but trouble:
Tinker to Evers to Chance!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The poem is presented as a single, rueful stanza from the point of view of a New York Giants fan seeing the talented Chicago Cubs infield of shortstop Joe Tinker, second baseman Johnny Evers, and first baseman Frank Chance complete a double play!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
