How many historic (1920-1948) Black leagues have now been officially recognized by MLB as major leagues?

Trout vs. Ohtani for the win! Wow. Great tournament! Tip of the cap to Japan.

Magnificent game with a great finish. What a tournament.
Side note: Not everyone is Ohtani ... but he proves that SOME PITCHERS CAN HIT. Him going to the outfield, then returning to the mound for the final inning, was pure #1947League!

Glad to see you off the DL, Yusuf!
I used to be in favour of the DH then I was kind of against it. What probably changed my mind was moving from an AL city to an NL city. I think I just liked whatever baseball I could watch.

I don't think I am off the DL quite yet. it turns out this is Covid. :-( Fortunately I am up to date on all my vaccinations, so I am resting up and drinking fluids and doing my best to get past the feeling of just having been hit by a truck...

I am supposed to write a #SABR article about one of the great forgotten #baseball stars, #BillByrd. Using the next few trivia questions to develop material for that piece.
Byrd was never penalized for throwing the #spitball. Why not?

Indeed he was (though in a different league, of course).
You are correct, @swampudlian ! What would you like to hear tomorrow ? Assuming I am approaching conscious again tomorrow?

It was illegal for everyone except a small group of pitcher's who were permitted to keep using it for the remainder of their careers

The older I get, the more that Ed Harris is my favourite player in Major League.
One thing about this clip, I thought that the grease/spit gave the ball less action, not a 2 or 3 inches more on your curveball?

Nolan is only echoing what the Cards, and the vast majority of the spectators, believed to be the case.
When pressed for a comment, officials explained that video review technology would not be available for another six to seven decades.
