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?

ON ANY GIVEN MONDAY
Last-place Senators break up Groundhog Thompson's no-hitter w/1 out in 7th, proceed to go nuts on Philly.
Walt Masterson gets the W in what was, for most of the game, a pitcher's duel. Homer Curry: 4 RBI.

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.

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

#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.

Aaand back to #1947League. Meaning to do this for a while.
Two teams a day, I'm going to give you a who's-hot-for-this-team toot, Here are the 25-37 #RedSox.
(Side note: GM slot is available for this team if you want to take over trade decisions)

Two #1947League teams a day, I'm going to give you a who's-hot-for-this-team toot, Here are the 24-39 #Cleveland #Indians.
I am the GM for this team and I'm not giving that job up. :-)

#1947League question:
For what team did today's hero, Bill Powell, play professionally in the late '40s?

Who's-hot-for-this-team: #1947League St. Louis Cardinals.
Reigning world champs, they gave the Dodgers a run for their money in "real life."
This GM slot is available if anyone wants to take over trade decisions. Great team. Leon Day!

Who's-hot-for-this-team: #1947League New York Giants.
Great offense, porous defense, mediocre pitching. Ostermueller just acquired from Tigers to plug that gap.
This GM slot is available if anyone wants to take over trade decisions.

The song connection yesterday was that Carlos Santana was covering SHE'S NOT THERE, which was originally a hit for the Zombies.
