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?

#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 was among 39 players nominated for the #Baseball Hall of Fame via the 2006 Special Committee on Negro Leagues final ballot.
What was the Committee's decision on his induction status?

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.
After Moneyball I liked them again.

Browns have one-game lead on Yanks.
Dodgers and Phillies tied for first. Brooklyn has lost two key players (Wright and Renfroe) to the IL for the next week or so. Phillies get Pepper Bassett back two games from now.

Bob Weir born in 1947, so the #1947League question is a #GratefulDead question:
Who's the lead singer on this track from BEAR'S CHOICE?
Hint: Not Weir, Garcia, or Lesh.
Answer correctly=you pick the song tomorrow.

CORRECT! The late Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, cofounder of the #GratefulDead and its first frontman, was doing lead vocals there. Do you have a song request, @mikec415 ?
