"Tinker to Evers to Chance" đây là bộ ba huyền thoại của bóng chày thế giới (Joe Tinker, Johnny Evers, và Frank Chance). Cụm từ xuất hiện trong bài thơ "Baseball's Sad Lexicon" của Franklin Piece Adams đầu thế kỷ 20.
Ví dụ
The Yanks were skippered (chỉ huy) by player/manager Frank Chance, formerly a member of the Chicago Cubs’ famed (nổi tiếng) “Tinker to Evers To Chance” infield (khoảng đất gần cửa thành) who’d be elected to the Hall of Fame in 1946. He only managed the Yankees for two seasons, 1913-1914, and rarely inserted himself in the lineup (đội hình).
It used to be Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance. Now it’s Bedroom-to-Kitchen-to-Den … Two thoughts on old sporting stuff: James Reimer should have stopped that long Patrice Bergeron wrist shot (cú sút dùng lực cổ tay) in Game 7 at Boston in 2013. And Ryan Goins should have caught Ben Zobrist’s shallow fly ball to right field in Kansas City in Game 2 of the 2015 American League Championship Series.
In 1910, in a piece for New York’s Evening Mail, Franklin Pierce Adams penned (thảo thơ) a famous poem, “Baseball’s Sad Lexicon,” about the Chicago Cubs’ impressive (ấn tượng) double-play (phòng ngự kép) combination of shortstop (cầu thủ chạy ngắn) Joe Tinker, second baseman (chốt gôn 2) Johnny Evers, and first baseman (chốt gôn 1) Frank Chance. The poem began: “These are the saddest of possible words: ‘Tinker to Evers to Chance.’”
