Edgar "The Ragin' Raven" Poe plays third base of the Canons, where he often has to handle cruel bad hops of fate.  

A true baseball journeyman, Poe has played all up and down the East Coast.  And although his incredible talent is appreciated by many, Poe has some reason to suspect his skills as a ballplayer won't be truly an rightly treasured until after his retirement.

Poe's family and teammates are ever vigilant regarding his drinking problem, lest Poe start guzzling sports-drinks again. 

Favorite tv show: "The Wire"

Once upon a homestead dreary, while I slumped, weak and weary,
Over called strikes and swinging strikes I'd again gone oh-for-four--
While I floundered, nearly foundered, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my locker door.
"'Tis some reporter," I muttered, "tapping at my locker door--
                     Only this and nothing more."

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak September,
And each old scorecard wrought its loss upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow;--vainly I had sought to borrow
From my coaches advice to follow--following my oh-for-four--
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name four-for-four--
                     Nameless here for evermore....
