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.

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.
STLB (41-31)470

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!

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

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.

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

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
