BLACK, RIGNEY UNLOAD ON CARDINALS
The Giants put the game out of reach with a big 8th inning. Bill Rigney got the key hit, a bases-loaded that sent Leon Day to the showers. Joe Black: CG, 3Ks, 2 ER.

#1947League question:
In our alternate universe, Joe Black was a hero for the Giants today.
For what team did he most famously play in real life?

Senators (12-48) beat Phillies (41-21), 9-0.
That's not just a shutout, that's a million-to-one-shot kind of deal.

BROWNS WALK OFF TIGERS IN 13
Overmire matched Welmaker over 12 innings...but Skeeter Watkins broke through for St. Louis in the bottom of the 13th with a single that scored Marquez. Gibson hit his 23rd HR.

#1947League question:
Willard Brown led the NAL in hits eight times -- which ties him for the major league record. With whom does he share this record?
@tabletopmania @YakyuNightOwl @AlexanderRaine7 @MiLBAnalysis @malinkey @BigEarl @cardboardkarl @nlarson830 @stlcolorbaseball @scottdaniel @adamlordosurety @FaultyJon @ted_duffield @uncle6 @OhhJim @sullybaseball @samsilverstein @APBAreplay
Answer to #1947League question:
Only two men in major-league history have led their league in hits in eight different seasons: Ty Cobb and and Willard Brown.
They're both in the Hall of Fame.
Ese Hombre! On top of his great career w the Monarchs, he was a legend in Puerto Rico, winning two Triple Crown's in the winter league. Darn shame he didn't get a legit shot in the majors.
@DocTellMeMore His nicknames tell it all: "Ese Hombre" ("That man," bestowed on him by terrified pitchers in Puerto Rico) and "Home Run" (bestowed on him by Josh Gibson!)
#WillardBrown was a true badass...and the only man to keep pace with Ty Cobb when it comes to leading the league in hits in multiple seasons.
And who was the last guy you saw steal second base standing up?
His American League statistics – 21 games, a .179 batting average – tell the most incomplete story possible of the player who was Willard Brown. His Hall of Fame plaque, however, speaks volumes about the pioneer who was one of the Negro Leagues’ greatest power hitters. “He was the most natural ballplayer I ever saw,” said Negro Leagues legend Buck O’Neil. “He’d steal second base standing up. He was a great talent.”
