Today's #1947League game brought to you by @scottdaniel (who got the trivia question right yesterday and left the song choice to me) and ... no surprise here ... the #GratefulDead with an exquisite cover of "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue"

On August 13, 1947, future Hall of Famer Willard Brown hit an inside-the-park home run for the St. Louis Browns against Detroit.
That home run was an important one in baseball history. Why?

VARGAS, INDIANS TOP SOX AT FENWAY
Tetelo Vargas (3-5, 2 RBI, 3B) led the offense and made a key rally-killing grab in CF in the 8th. Cleveland won a back-and-forth affair. Indians improve to 22-37.

#1947League trivia question:
#MLB accepted #BlackLeague stats, so there are now several years in which #baseball fans have TWO #WorldSeries champions to celebrate.
The Tigers beat the Cubs in one Series in 1945.
Who won the other Series that year?

"What the hell is this guy obsessing about every day...?"
Glad you asked, #baseball fans:
Attached: 1 image 1/x This #thread is for #blackmastodon, #MLB, and #baseball at large: You may have heard that a while back, in a long-overdue move, big-league baseball ruled that all official Black Leagues stats were now recognized as MLB statistics. As a (white) fan of the great players of the Black Leagues, I was excited by this move ... but I felt it was just the beginning. #1947League #apba
