Ann, who grew up in Sun Village on Vauclain St. had told me she wrote this
poem the year Eddie's Cafe had won the championship.
It ran in the Chester Times
and Eddie's Cafe had it hanging on the wall for years..."
EDDIES CAFE
EDDIES CAFE THE FIGHTENEST TEAM
THERE ALL AVID DRINKERS BUT STILL ON THE BEAM
THEY AIM TO BE ROUGH. TRY TO BE TOUGH
BUT THIS IS ONE TEAM THAT KNOWS ALL THEIR STUFF
THEIR MANAGER BILL THOUGH OLD AND GREY
GIVES THEM ADVISE AND HAS ALL THE SAY
ANOTHER EXECUTIVE IS SECRETARY FRANK HE DRINKS HIS BEER IN TWO TON TANKS
THE STAR PITCHER OF ED'S IS A REAL DINK
HE'S NONE OTHER THAN "IRON MAN HURLBRINCK"
THEN COMES DIGGINS EDELBLUTE AND JONES
THEIR QUICKER THAN CANAVERALS FAMOUS NOSE CONES
KUEHN AND POWEL INHABITORS OF SPACE
