#1947League preview
Tigers (32-35) player-manager Cool Papa Bell sends hard-drinking Jimmie Newberry (2-2, 3.36) to the mound to face down the Giants.

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 Papa Bell is correct! What would you like to hear, @tabletopmania ?
This February is not only Black History Month, but also the 100th anniversary of the Negro Leagues, which were born on Feb. 13, 1920. To help celebrate this centennial, MLB.com will be looking back at some Negro Leagues legends throughout the month. "One time he hit a line drive right

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.

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?

They have a history of moving and have always been the Athletics. I’d be weird if they didn’t keep the name.

I agree with that. The name goes way, way back in Philadelphia.... The 1850's, I believe.

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.

Indeed, it is a blemish on MLB as a whole. Oakland fans do not deserve this.

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?

He can stand however he wants but if the umpire decides a pitch is a strike in his normal stance, then it’s a strike.
@YusufToropov @ted_duffield @tabletopmania @swampudlian @YakyuNightOwl @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @stlcolorbaseball @MiLBAnalysis @malinkey @cardboardkarl @scottdaniel @OhhJim @sullybaseball @APBAreplay @aurelia @AlexanderRaine7
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.

I wonder if the pitcher threw inside on the guy?

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.
STLB (39-29) 353

Today's hero, knuckleballer Barney "Big Ad" Morris, started and won the East-West all-star game in 1937. What team did he represent? (Hint: It wasn't the New York Cubans.)

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!
