Today's #1947League hero, spitballer Bill Byrd, led his league in wins and innings pitched in 1948 -- his final major league season.

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.

#1947League question:

Seamheads.com rates Homer "Goose" Curry (yesterday's hero) as one of the most productive right fielders of his era.

With what team did he finish his playing career?

@tabletopmania @YakyuNightOwl @AlexanderRaine7 @MiLBAnalysis @malinkey @BigEarl @cardboardkarl @nlarson830 @stlcolorbaseball @scottdaniel @adamlordosurety @FaultyJon @ted_duffield @uncle6 @OhhJim @sullybaseball @samsilverstein @APBAreplay

I will be back on duty soon. Just a lot of work lately. But while we waiting for #1947League, let's celebrate pitchers and catchers reporting!

Here is the team with which Homer Curry closed out his career...

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.

Sweet win if you are a Yankees fan, so I will be empathetic and pretend that's who I am capable of being.

Shutout! So this is for @samsilverstein , GM of the Bronx Bombers, who are in this thing to win this thing...

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.
