What notable thing did Dan Bankhead do in his rookie MLB year that Aaron Judge also did in his MLB rookie year?

SENATORS CAPITALIZE
Sloppy D led to 2 unearned Washington runs, and CLE wasted a strong start from Max Manning.
Edsall Walker got the W; Joe Greene got the GWRBI. Senators split the 4-game series.

You don't get enough music videos that prominently feature stiletto heels nowadays. One man's opinion.
Today's #1947League game brought to you by @tabletopmania and #Toto.

From one pair of shoes to another.
Today's #1947league game also brought to you by Michael Jackson.
Can you #SpotTheConnection? Hint: It has to do with personnel.

I feel as though my understanding of the word "phonetically" must be somehow out of whack....

Did my #Oakland #Athletics win last night? Is that really the most important question? I don't think so.
The real issue is, did my Oakland Athletics maintain their half-game lead over @YakyuNightOwl 's #Seattle #Mariners?
Yes. Yes, they did.

Do either of you two have a NL team as a backup?
MLB Rule 3.14159 says that you are allowed to have an opposite-league favourite team.

GIANTS SPLIT SERIES WITH TIGERS
Joe Black turned in a quality start. Ed Steele homered. New York, recently deprived of superstars, took its 2nd win in a row over Detroit. Maybe it's a clubhouse vibe thing.
DET (32-35) 371
NYG (31-35)590

Today's #1947league game also brought to you by #ELO, and a #SpotTheConnection puzzle that's a little easier than yesterday's. Hint: It involves lyrics. For a No-Prize, what connects these two songs?

Today's #1947League hero, Joe Black, is not in the Hall of Fame, but he teamed up with a future Hall of Famer, and future roommate, to lobby for pensions for NAL and NNL players.
Bloody socialists.
Name the famous ally Joe Black worked with on this cause.

"Wow -- the Rays are off to this historic hot start -- I wonder who they're playing next... (gulp) Oh."
Somebody give me a reason to feel optimistic about this, please. #Athletics #baseball

YANKS SPLIT, NOW WITHIN A GAME OF BROWNS
Paige allows HRs from the big guys (Gibson, Heath--who went long twice); Browns otherwise inert. NY erupts for 13 hits.
The game featured two bench-clearing brawls.

So.... Jeff Heath of the Browns hit two home runs in a 9-3 loss. When a batter hits two dingers in one game, we put another star on the #1947League Wall of Fame. Who should be immortalized?

You asked for her, you got her. The one and only #LenaHorne is officially elevated to the #1947League Wall of Fame.

#1947league update:
Expect a pause for the next few days as we go on what they call a "holiday" here in Ireland. (I think we all know it's actually a "vacation," but I humor the locals about that.)
Games should resume this time next week.
See you then!

#1947League preview, and it's a doozy:
Phillies, a half game back, send Groundhog Thompson (8-3. 2.05) to the mound in search of a tie for first with Brooklyn.
Cardinals counter with "Mississippi" Lewis (7-7, 3.05, 128 Ks.*)
*Leads league

PHILS REGAIN TIE FOR FIRST
A 5th-inning unearned run (scored by Artie Wilson, of course) was the margin, as Groundhog Thompson picked up his 9th win.
Lewis K'd 14 (!) Phillies in a losing cause for Cardinals.
STLC (32-33) 371
PHI (456-23) 471

I'm not entirely sure, because apparently the upstate returns aren't in yet, but it looks very much as though the New York Mets defeated my beloved Oakland Athletics by a score of 17 to 6 last night.
Travesty of a game.

There's something about losing a 17-6 game that is significantly more depressing than losing a 17-0 game. Your offense actually delivered, but your pitching ought to be sent down to the minors.
Yeah, that sucks too. Condolences.
