"Line-Up for Yesterday: An ABC of Baseball Immortals" is a poem written by Ogden Nash for the January 1949 issue of SPORT Magazine. In the poem, Nash dedicates each letter of the alphabet to an iconic Major League Baseball player. Altogether, the poem pays tribute to 24 players, plus one winking reference to himself (under "I") as a fan of the game, and concludes with a final stanza in homage to the players collectively.
