From one pair of shoes to another.

Can you #SpotTheConnection? Hint: It has to do with personnel.

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.

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?

#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.*)

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.

#1947League preview:
The Pirates' Luis E. Tiant (8-5, 2.66) aims to even the four-game series with the Red Sox.
Bill Powell (6-6, 3.72) looking to take three out of four at Fenway -- and get a bit closer to the .500 mark that has eluded the Sox all season.

PIRATES' BULLPEN IMPLODES; SOX TAKE 3 OF 4 AT FENWAY
Handed a 3-2 lead, Leniel Hooker coughs up 4 runs in the 8th.
Galehouse gets the W. Williams: 2-4, R.
Pirates continue their long-running lost weekend. #1947league

#1947League question:
Pittsburgh's starter in today's game would, in real life, throw out the ceremonial first pitch in a World Series game.
Name the city where he did that.
@tabletopmania @RuthODay @YakyuNightOwl @AlisonW_RedSox @swampudlian @BigEarl @ted_duffield @stlcolorbaseball @MiLBAnalysis @malinkey @cardboardkarl @scottdaniel @OhhJim @sullybaseball @samsilverstein @APBAreplay @aurelia @AlexanderRaine7
Not Atlanta or St. Louis. Multiple guesses ok.
The key to this one is knowing who started for Pittsburgh in #1947League today. (He got a no-decision.)
@RuthODay @tabletopmania @YakyuNightOwl @AlisonW_RedSox @swampudlian @BigEarl @ted_duffield @stlcolorbaseball @MiLBAnalysis @malinkey @cardboardkarl @scottdaniel @OhhJim @sullybaseball @samsilverstein @APBAreplay @aurelia @AlexanderRaine7
CORRECT! It was Luis E. Tiant, father of Red Sox hurler Luis Tiant. The year was 1975 and the city was Boston.
What would you like to hear, @RuthODay ?

I have to balance out Mojo Nixon with something classy: how about the Flower Duet from Lakmé, by Mady Mesplé and Danielle Millet?
