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.

Today's #1947League hero, Minnie Minoso (HOF), actually bore the legal name Saturnino Orestes Arrieta. "Minnie" wasn't his first name and "Minoso" wasn't his family name.
How did he come to be called Minnie Minoso?
tcduff@YusufToropov He was in a dentist office and heard "Minnie" called and mistakenly thought it was a garbling of Minoso and he kept it.
@YusufToropov I have a Yahoo Fantasy league called the Minnie Minoso Memorial League. The prize this year was his HOF commemorative coin.

#1947league trivia question:
Today's hero, knuckleballer Barney Morris, posted a microscopic 1.73 ERA in 1945. For what NNL team was he playing? (Hint: Check the photo.)
James David Walley@YusufToropov I find this fascinating, but how do you develop the cards for the Black players?
@regnad_kcin I paste logos and images onto cards I create at Dave's APBA Card Computer
@YusufToropov Thanks – I had no idea such a site existed.
Cardboard Pastor@regnad_kcin @YusufToropov For some reason I cannot see this thread and am very interested in the answer. When I was putting my stuff together years ago Seamheads was the most reliable but I'm assuming baseball reference has finally gotten onboard after MLB recognized the Negro League?
@cardboardkarl @regnad_kcin I used this site to create APBA-compatible cards:
@cardboardkarl @regnad_kcin my go-to stat source is Seamheads
@cardboardkarl @regnad_kcin Verifying these stats is like an archaeological dig, and Baseball-reference always feels like it is reporting what was unearthed a year ago. #Seamheads is the bomb
