Minnie Minoso
Your name is a song
And why it took so long
To integrate Chicago baseball
God only knows
But you came and showed
The joy of speed
The command of glove
And changed the game
But why do I love
You, Orestes, besides your name?
The Cuban Comet
You flared and flamed
and lit up the place
Wherever you came
Minnie Minoso
Your name is a song
I hope to recall
My whole life long
