So I asked Google to find a rock and roll song about #baseball to pair up with "Willie, Mickey, and the Duke" and it came up with this one, another '80s classic...

Though frankly, I would say Nolan's delivery is a bit more glorious than the one the Boss shows off in this video. :-)

Today's hero, Al Smith, helped to win matching pennants for the very same city -- securing the flag as a regular in both the NAL and the American League.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it: Name both of those teams.

One guess only.

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?

Very very VERY close, but @tabletopmania beats @YakyuNightOwl by ONE MINUTE!

It was Willard Brown (HOF).

Well played, guys!

Nolan, what would you like to hear tomorrow?

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.

Ok, this clip is EXACTLY what I wanted.

I know it's just the Rockies, but it helps my worldview a lot for the Oakland A's to look scary from time to time. And last night they did. :-) #SellTheTeam #Athletics #Baseball #Gelof #Rooker #Blackburn
