#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.

#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.

IMPORTANT thread for #1947League GMs. 1/x
* After this season, there will be a #1948League.
* All former NNL/NAL players will become free agents UNLESS...
* A) Their current team finishes w/league's best record, or
* B) ...finishes last in its division.

IMPORTANT thread for #1947League GMs. 2/x
WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU AS A GM:
* 2 teams (NYG and WAS) now have an INCENTIVE to unload non-NAL and non-NNL talent.
* For instance, Walker Cooper (NYG) and Spider Jorgensen (WAS)
* I happen to be GM of each team.

IMPORTANT thread for #1947League GMs. 3/x
* NOTE: I am also GM of the Indians.

That was the good news for Brooklyn. The bad news: that they lost star outfielder Wild Bill Wright for 12 games in a baserunning collision with Billy Cox.

#1947League question:
For what #MLB team was today's hero, Chet Brewer, a scout in real life?

Kansas State native so I will guess that he was a scout for the Cardinals.

Good guess, but not the Cards. Multiple guesses ok. Up to three.

Ok, I initially had a gut feeling on the White Sox?
