GIANTS CRUSH TIGERS

The Giants took the first game of a three-game series behind a solid performance from former Tiger Fritz Ostermueller. New York''s offense somehow still overpowering -- despite the loss of Cooper and Mize.

#1947League question

Not known as a power hitter, this future Hall of Famer was the first slugger to connect for three home runs in a single game during Cuban professional play. He did it in 1929.

Can you name him?

Call them the Gamblers or something, then. I for one won't pretend that's the #Athletics if they go through with this.

That is officially the worst news of the day. Week? Month? Year? Sigh.

I, personally, really dig the LV Aviators and all their logos and color schemes, etc. Wouldn't mind one bit if they went with that.

Yeah, I guess... But basically I am a Brooklyn Dodgers guy in 1957 reading about how cool Chavez Ravine is going to be. It's going to take me a while to process this.

If you need another AL team to call home, may I suggest the Toronto Blue Jays?

Unless you’re like George Utley from the show Newhart: “I can’t cheer for a bird that steals food from the other birds.”

Just a piece of personal advice, don't be afraid to throw yourself into something else and just not care for a couple years. Then find your way back with a different team. I always say, in actual grieving, there's no wrong way to grieve. Just some ideas.

It sucks all the way around. I remember my beloved North Stars moving to Dallas and then winning a Cup a few seasons later just to make it sting a little more.

Yeah, I fully expect them to contend the minute they move. :-(

The systematic destruction of what had not long ago been a viable team has been a conscious undertaking from ownership. That hurts too.

I think the guy at the top wants tiny crowds for this team right now.

And a lasting blemish on MLB leadership.

On a happier subject. Wouldn't we talking about the Savannah Bananas the other day? And isn't that the team we're watching here? And while we're at it, is this legal?

There might be a penalty (given one strike or maybe called out) for not having a foot in the batter’s box.

Baseball lawyers might have specified that the bottom of the foot must be on the ground.

Interesting question.

Maybe happy, Yusuf, my memories of attending an A’s game in 1976 or 1977 with my father. A guy two rows ahead kept yelling “Bando, you turkey! Go home!”
For. Nine. Whole. Innings.
After five innings my annoyance became admiration for his tenacity.
Maybe he still attends!

YANKEES, BROWNS FACE OFF AT YANKEE STADIUM

Ford Smith (8-3, 2.69) on the mound for the Browns.

Barney Morris (4-3, 3.00) gets the ball for the Yankees.

New York just one game out of first.

BACK-TO-BACK ERRORS GIVE YANKS THE WIN

Rusty Peters threw a routine grounder into the dugout; Josh Gibson then fumbled a plate bouncer. Sloppy defense yields two unearned runs.

Barney Morris gets the W. Yanks tie for first.

Answer to yesterday's #1947League trivia question:

The team for which knuckleballer Barney "Big Ad" Morris posted a solid year in 1937 was the Pittsburgh Crawfords.

ELLIOTT WALKS OFF BUMS

Another epic pitching duel between Branca and Spahn--but this time @APBAreplay's Braves come out on top, via Bob Elliott's HR in the 13th. Lanfranconi gets the W.

Dodgers fall to 2nd place.

I suspect Nolan won't feel much like celebrating that Dodger loss, but perhaps Brian will, and the Beautiful Shufflers definitely do.

Shutout AND a walkoff!

#1947league makes life good again. Unless you're Nolan. Sorry, man.
