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.
