#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.
