Commemorations
Bresnahan was mentioned in the poem Line-Up for Yesterday by Ogden Nash:
Baseball Hall of Fame plaqueBattery mate of Christy Mathewson with the New York Giants, he was one of the games most natural players and might have starred at any position. The "Duke of Tralee" was one of the few major league catchers fast enough to be used as a leadoff man
Line-Up for YesterdayB is for Bresnahan
Back of the plate;
The Cubs were his love,
and McGraw his hate.
