Inspired by the poem "Baseball's Sad Lexicon" by Franklin Pierce Adams.

Exclusively featured in "Ruin Pioneer", an album co-produced with Janet Wallace.

Also featured in Max Chivington's video essay "Baseball's Sad Lexicon".


The poem in question:

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.”
