I do love this song, but it's only on listening to it now that I realize, after 45 years, that its rhythm track has pretty much been lifted bodily from Marvin Gaye's WHAT'S GOING ON...

BELL, TIGERS, TAKE FIRST GAME OF SERIES FROM RED SOX

BROWNS FACE PHILLIES IN BATTLE OF FIRST-PLACE TEAMS
World Series preview? Could be. Ford Smith (8-4, 2.90) takes the mound for the 41-30 Browns; Amos Watson (3-9, 3.30) gets the start for the 47-24 Phillies. Buckle up!

PHILLIES TOP BROWNS
Pat Patterson's eighth-inning double scored Buck Leonard for the GWRBI in a tense, close game. Watson logged his first win as a Phillie; LaMarque earned the save, fanning Gibson with a man on second and two out in the 9th.

RED SOX EVEN SERIES, TOP TIGERS
Usually it's Teddy Ballgame carrying the offense; not today. Williams: 0-4; Dom DiMaggio (HR, 2 R, 3-5) and Hank Thompson (2-4, 3B, 3 RBI) center stage. Sox breezed to an easy W. Dobson picked up his 5th.

July 20,1947: The St. Louis Browns become the first team in AL or NL history to field a starting lineup with two African-Americans. Today's hero, Hank Thompson, was one of them. Who was the other?

BLACK, STEELE DOMINATE
Tough day at the Coyle for the Senators: three hits in the first inning, then zero baserunners until two outs in the ninth. Masterful win for NYG's Joe Black (10-5). Ed Steele: 4-4, HR, 2 SB, 3 R, 2 RBI.

Hi everyone. Update from the front. I'm fine, but I've had to put the league on hold for a while because of a playwriting opportunity that has presented itself. If I get the draft of the full play done by the end of October, this is a reading for me waiting at a theater I've worked with before.
@tabletopmania @ted_duffield @aurelia @YakyuNightOwl @RuthODay @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @stlcolorbaseball @cardboardkarl @marq @OhhJim @sullybaseball @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @Eilistraee
So the dice and the playing boards and the players I have come to know and love in #1947League are ikely to be a lower priority for me between now and then. But I'm making a personal commitment to check in here at least once a week and let people know how it's going.
@tabletopmania @ted_duffield @aurelia @YakyuNightOwl @RuthODay @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @stlcolorbaseball @cardboardkarl @marq @OhhJim @sullybaseball @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @Eilistraee
I've got about an hour and a quarter of a projected two and a half hour play ready in draft form. My commitment is to add three minutes a day to that total. Fortunately a fair amount of the play is about baseball, but please don't ask me to explain any deeper than that. #1947League
@tabletopmania @ted_duffield @aurelia @YakyuNightOwl @RuthODay @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @stlcolorbaseball @cardboardkarl @marq @OhhJim @sullybaseball @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @Eilistraee
Godwilling I'll get #1947League
up and running after I complete the draft.
Once a week you can expect something cool like the video below...AND my prediction on the A's securing that all-important 41st victory. Today I'm voting yes, with my heart, not my head.
@tabletopmania @ted_duffield @aurelia @YakyuNightOwl @RuthODay @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @stlcolorbaseball @cardboardkarl @marq @OhhJim @sullybaseball @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @Eilistraee
Okay, so I'm going to ask all my #baseball buddies this question, too... Any ideas?
Hey #WritingCommunity -- and, come to think of it, #Medical community -- I'm writing a story where a minor character dies as the result of being thrust outside during a hurricane. What is a pre-existing medical condition I could give that character that would make this accidental death far more likely? drop a line below, lemeno... thanks in advance. #writing #amwriting #novel
@YusufToropov @tabletopmania @ted_duffield @aurelia @YakyuNightOwl @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @stlcolorbaseball @cardboardkarl @marq @OhhJim @sullybaseball @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @Eilistraee
Does the death have to be instant or can the hurricane exposure cause the death to happen over the course of a day or so?
PS will there be comp tix to The Opening of your play for the winning option? : )
@RuthODay @tabletopmania @ted_duffield @aurelia @YakyuNightOwl @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @stlcolorbaseball @cardboardkarl @marq @OhhJim @sullybaseball @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @Eilistraee
Comps for everyone! :-)
Great ideas, thanks guys. @aurelia , yes, a hurricane could kill someone who doesn't have a pre-existing condition. But the idea here is: Person A is responsible for Person B, knows about the medical condition, there's an argument, Person B heads out into rough weather.
@YusufToropov @tabletopmania @ted_duffield @aurelia @YakyuNightOwl @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @stlcolorbaseball @cardboardkarl @marq @OhhJim @sullybaseball @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @Eilistraee
Thanks for the comps, Yusuf!
::gives me time to figure out what to wear (I’ve never been to an Opening)::

True.
I was thinking (it happens once in a while) that if this was a cismale or someone AMAB who had hemophilia and in the brief exposure to the hurricane were struck by a piece of debris that caused lacerations that caused them to lose too much blood.
If the piece of debris was metal and they hadn't had their tetanus booster they could get an infection and possibly a seizure which prevents them from calling 911 to get medical aid for the lacerations.
Is that pretty much where you were heading with this, Yusuf?

Ok so this is where I tell you the play is about, among other things, baseball...and that it's going well enough that I can anticipate getting back to posting #1947League games after the real life World Series.
That's going to be my reward.
Burn that mother down!
