Why follow a #tabletop #baseball replay?
'47 #MLB (in what purports to be real life) had >1% Black players; this has 13%
#BLM #BlackHistory matters

GIANTS OVERPOWER CARDS
Walker Cooper's 2-run HR not only capped a big third-inning rally, it also produced a 3-way tie for the HR lead in #1947League. It was his nineteenth.
Ed Steele swiped his 41st base.
We're a little over a third of the way through the 154-game season.

Today's #1947League game brought to you by @uncle6, who chose this song to honor all those extraordinary ballplayers from #Alabama -- and by #AlabamaShakes.

Today's #1947League game also brought to you by #TrustCompany, which means I've played two consecutive tunes from the current century, which is something of a stretch for me... ANYWAY.

Ed Steele, one of today's heroes, played for his hometown team in the NAL. What was that team?

@tabletopmania @YakyuNightOwl @siddfinch @BigEarl @cardboardkarl @APBAreplay @OhhJim @lclobrano @adamlordosurety @FaultyJon @stlcolorbaseball @AlexanderRaine7 @MiLBAnalysis @ted_duffield @uncle6
Ed "Stainless" Steele lived in Birmingham and played for the Black Barons. Like both of the bands I played for you today, he was from #Alabama.

@MiLBAnalysis gave the right answer - the connection was frustration, specifically the sexual variety

Going to ask @AlexanderRaine7, @OhhJim, @AlexanderRaine7 , and @tabletopmania to recuse themselves from this, because I know, from the bird app, they know the answer
#1947League #trivia question:
Name the team for which today's hero, Bill Byrd, was most famous for playing in real life...AND give me its correct pronunciation.

Bill Byrd's team was the Baltimore Elite (pronounced EE-LIGHT) Giants, a proud franchise from whom we will be hearing a lot in future trivia questions.
No winner yesterday, which means the song is the Commissioner's choice today. #1947League.

#1947League #SpotTheConnection answer:
The driving riff of Lou Reed's "Take a Walk on the Wild Side" inspired the driving riff of the #GratefulDead's "Franklin's Tower" (sez Wikipedia, source of ALL definitive knowledge). See if you agree:
