#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?

For which team did he play that year?

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.
So we get an extended performance from the Beautiful Shuffle Girls today. #1947League

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.

Browns walk off the Tigers in 13, tie Yanks for first.

#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?

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.
