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!

Byrd was never penalized for throwing the #spitball. Why not?

#1947League question:
Which of these pitches was Bill Byrd, according to #NLBM, not famous for throwing?
Spitball
Change-up
Slow knuckler
Fast knuckler
Slider
Roundhouse curve
Fastball

Correct answers to #1947League questions:
* Bill Byrd threw all those pitches I listed with intimidating mastery.... EXCEPT the change-up.
* He mentored Roy Campanella, who called him "Daddy "

Bill Byrd failed in his 2006 bid to enter the Hall of Fame. He has another shot in 2025.
Thanks to #Seamheads, we now have a much clearer picture of the statistical footprint of his career. I expect he'll enter the Hall this time. #1947league

Yusuf, I never knew that you were an #Athletics supporter!
I have an odd relationship with them. In the 1970s (the handlebar moustache era) I liked them. In the late 1980s and early 1990s I hated them.

WHO SAYS 2ND DIVISION IS DULL?
WAS tops CLE as Homer Curry does it all: homers, scores both runs, holds opposition to 1 ER , gets tossed after hitting Ruszkowski to load the bases! Munger gets the SV.
WAS (17-49) 270
CLE (26-40) 190
