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?

"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
