Today's #1947League game brought to you by the biologically-aligned baseball cyborg that is CLIFF.
He identified Geddy Lee as the man who donated a huge collection of autographed #baseball s to #NLBM.
CLIFF chose #RUSH. Natch.

I threw that question over to Cliff, who got it instantly. The major rock bassist who is also (like yours truly) a NNL/NAL baseball geek is Geddy Lee of #Rush. (Cal Ripken Jr. is, too!)
Lee donated his collection of autographed #baseball s to #NLBM in 2008, bless his heart.

Quick. Before I have to ask Cliff!
Name the major rock bassist who was also a huge fan of Black baseball ... and who donated over 200 autographed NAL/NNL baseballs to the #NLBM.

81 games into a 154 game season and so digging the pennant races in #1947League ...

SPAHN SHUTS DOWN TIANT, PIRATES
Braves keep right on rolling as Spahn evens his record at 8-8 with a two-hit shutout. Boston has won eight in a row. Tiant's quality start goes to waste.
BOSB(42-36) 350
PIT(36-42) 020

For what pitch was Barney "Big Ad" Morris most famous over the course of his long (1932-1947) career?

Of what two Kansas City Monarch Hall of Fame starters was Roy Campanella (himself a Hall of Famer) speaking when he said:
“My God. You couldn’t tell the difference.”

Today's #1947League hero, Minnie Minoso (HOF), had established himself primarily as a catcher in Cuba when he informed his manager he had to play a different position. Why did he do that?

Tetelo Vargas, today's #1947League hero, won batting championships in 3 different leagues. Name them. (One guess only.)

#Black #Baseball (1920-1949) had not one, not two, but at least three "Meccas": Kansas City, Pittsburgh, and Washington, DC. Which was the home town of today's #1947League hero, Garnett Blair?
One guess
