#1947League question:
How many historic (1920-1948) Black leagues have now been officially recognized by MLB as major leagues?
One guess only.
Win TWO song choices tomorrow if you can name five or more of them.

Today Spud Chandler shut out the Browns and led the Yankees back into a tie for first. The Beautiful Shufflers are happy about that.... #aha #1947League

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!

Got a nasty bug. While I am on the IL, here is a cool video from MLB Productions: Baseball in the 70s!
Variable image quality, but definitely worth a watch if you are Into That Kind of Thing. I am.

#1947League gets back in gear as...
BUMS TROUNCE BRAVES
Brooklyn erupted for 9 runs in 3 innings and never looked back, closing once again to within half-a-game of first-place Philly. WP: Bill Byrd, via his "mystery pitch."

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?

Didn’t the commish declare it legal at the time?

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?
