BYRD, DODGERS TOP PIRATES
PIT filed a formal complaint with the league about the "mystery pitch" that enabled Bill Byrd to scatter 8 hits and log a CG victory. Reese homered for BKN. Dodgers picked up half a game on 1st-place PHI
BKN 7 11 1
PIT 1 8 0

Today's #1947League game also brought to you by the #RollingStones...and by our daily-ish #SpottheConnection #music #trivia contest.
For a No-Prize, reply to this post with the THEMATIC connection between these two songs.

Thematically they both express frustration?

@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.

SENATORS UPSET PHILS, 2-1
Injury-replacement callup Bobo Newsom ended PHI's hope of a sweep with a CG victory over "Groundhog" Thompson. Each pitcher went the distance.
Newsom retired Etten with men on first and third in the 9th to seal the win. Tatum: HR.

#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:

Why follow a #tabletop #baseball replay?
'47 #MLB (in "real life") had >1% Black players; this has 13%
#BLM #BlackHistory matters
We geek out about #BlackLeagues and music we love
