#1947League question:

With what real-life National League team did hit machine Artie Wilson log 19 games and 24 at-bats? I need both the team name and the year.

1951 Giants. I only know because the 51 Giants are the centerpiece of the annual Edward John Coyle Jr. Memorial Tournament.

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.

Yesterday, #1947League asked you to name the team that, according to legend, a teenaged Josh Gibson was recruited to join WHILE SITTING IN THE STANDS.

Answer: The Homestead Grays.

SAIN, IRVIN LEAD BRAVES OVER YANKS

Boston Braves ace Johnny Sain held the potent New York lineup to 6 hits and drove in the go-ahead run; Monte Irvin homered. Satch took the loss.

BOSB (30-28) 6 10 2

#1947League question:

Today's hero, Monte Irvin, ended up with the Giants when NYG paid Newark Eagles owner Etta Manley $5,000 for his contract.

How much did Branch Rickey pay the Kansas City Monarchs for Jackie Robinson's contract a few years earlier?

Correct, @tabletopmania ! Rickey STOLE Jackie Robinson's contract... and got away with it. What would you like to hear tomorrow, sir?

FELLER, RUSZKOWSKI BOMB RED SOX, 7-0

Feller started pitching like Feller, striking out 10 Red Sox and holding Boston to four hits.

Doby: 1-4, run scored.

And oh yeah: Hank Ruszkowski slammed 3 HRS!

Indians turn a page.

BOS (25-36) 040
CLE (23-28) 790

We've never had someone hit three home runs in a single game before. So what does this tell us?

a) Ruszkowski is now the starting catcher for Cleveland

b) The top TWO vote-getters below go up on the #1947League pinup Wall of Fame!

#1947League question.

CATEGORY: HOME RUNS

Larry Doby did (at least) two things in this category that Willie Mays, Monte Irvin, and Henry Aaron did not do. What were they?

I need both of them. Multiple guesses okay.

Love these magnificently stilted "interviews" with contemporary ballplayers in late-40s radio #baseball broadcasts.
