The A’s batting order has Ruiz as the leadoff man and Rooker backs him up in the 2 spot.

Rooker should lead off, where he can focus his 1-energy into being the first on base. Then follow with Ruiz, whose supportive 6-energy can help advance Rooker to score.

4/4

Busy work week; still haven't caught up on #1947League stats. Oh well.

On my list of things I'm grateful for: Game 1 of '79 #WorldSeries, complete w/Howard Cosell, all the glorious ads, and
various fascinating sexist production choices.

GIANTS TOP SENATORS 10-9 AT THE COYLE

Ed Steele got the GWRBI in the top of the 9th in a see-saw game that sent Washington further into the American Division cellar. Hartung got the win in relief.

#1947League question:

Ed Steele played right field on a Black Barons squad that reached, but did not win, the final World Series played between NAL and NNL champions.

Who was playing next to him in center field?

Yesterday the last-place Giants roared back to defeat the last-place Senators, 10-9. Thrilling game!

Another pair of 2nd-division teams delivered another barn-burner today. Fourth-place Braves can tie with the third-place Pirates with a win over CLE.

TRIBE HANGS ON

Sain hit a man in the 2nd after having been warned, bumped an umpire on his way out: suspended 10 games.

Manning nearly blew a 7-run lead, but the big Boston comeback fell short. Larry Doby homered.

YANKEES' LATE RALLY TAMES DODGERS

Brooklyn's woes continued; their Renfroe-free, Wright-free offense managed only 4 hits against Yankees hurlers Wensloff and Chandler.

Willard Brown had the key hit in the 9th for the Bombers.

#1947League has a double-header today. Four teams, four powerhouses!

Roy Welmaker (4-3, 3.27) and Josh Gibson (27 HR) lead the Browns against the Phillies (Dutch Leonard, 8-5, 3.59).

Ralph Branca (12-2, 1.69) gets the start for Brooklyn against Satchel Paige (8-6, 4.10) and the Yankees.

GIBSON, BROWNS BRING PHILLIES DOWN TO EARTH

Josh Gibson launched a three-run bomb in the 1st, his 28th HR. That set the tone for the day. Marquez and Lehner also homered for St. Louis. Welmaker's CG win rested the bullpen.

At the age of eighteen, Josh Gibson hit a home run into the left-field bleachers of Yankee Stadium. The blast has been estimated at between 420 and 460 feet. (See the photo for a sense of the dimensions.)

For what team was Gibson playing at the time?
