#1947League question:
Today's winning pitcher, Pat Scantlebury (born in Panama), was an integral part of the 1947 NNL pennant-winning team that eventually triumphed in the World Series.
What was that team's home field?
@tabletopmania @YakyuNightOwl @BigEarl @cardboardkarl @nlarson830 @andrew @stlcolorbaseball @scottdaniel @malinkey @MiLBAnalysis @adamlordosurety @FaultyJon @ted_duffield @uncle6 @AlexanderRaine7 @OhhJim @sullybaseball @samsilverstein @MarioERoc
Answer to #1947League question:
Pat Scantlebury's World-Series-winning team in 1947 was the New York Cubans. (They signed a lot of Central American and Caribbean players, not just Cubans. Pat was born in Panama.)
Home field: Polo Grounds.

BROWNS TOP TIGERS
Tight game...till Gibson and Heath teed off on Hutchinson in the 8th w/back to back HRs. Josh's 22nd.
STLB keeps pace w/1st-place NYY. Booker McDaniel gets the spot start, and the CG win, filling in for Bill Ricks.

#1947League question:
According to legend, #JoshGibson was called out of the stands on July 25, 1930 and asked to take over the catching duties by owner and future Hall of Famer Cum Posey.
Name the team Gibson played for that night.
