Listened to every inning of the A's/Nats game last night...then watched the YouTube highlights this AM. Once wasn't enough.

You may not want the whole game, but I bet you want to see this clip of #Oakland reliever Lucas Erceg. #Defense!

After #Oakland's win over Nats last night, A's have 7 of a possible 153 victories in 2024.

Team win all the way, but Mason Miller's supersonic 3-K save was a highlight.

Back from vacation and caught up on stats. What better way to celebrate #JackieRobinson in #MLB than to rejoin #1947League?

Backstory (if you're not one of the people tagged above): In this APBA dice-and-cards league, I replay the '47 #baseball season ..fully integrated.

We rejoin #1947League, which is already in progress.

Welcome back to reality!

This is what is ACTUALLY happening, not whatever you're hearing on the news (whew).

Today's #1947League hero, Rufus "Mississippi" Lewis, had a future Hall of Famer as his manager and mentor.

Name him. One guess only.

Yesterday I asked you to identify the future Hall of Famer who served as Rufus "Mississippi" Lewis's mentor and manager on the Newark Eagles.

It was Biz Mackey, who during his playing days was widely regarded as the finest defensive catcher in Black #baseball.

BUMS TOP CARDS ON UNEARNED RUN

Roosevelt Davis scattered 9 hits and picked up the win; Lorenzo Cabrera reached on Bob Thurman's error and scored what proved to be the decisive run. Bremer got the save.

In a career that spanned more than two decades, today's #1947League hero, Roosevelt Davis, was a key member of a 1935 squad that many consider to be the finest Black ballclub of all time.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it: Name that ballclub. One guess only.

You are, correct, sir!

The 1935 Crawfords up against the 1927 Yankees is one of those best-of-seven series I really have to set up and play. Maybe before #1947League WS.

Check out the ERA+ on Leroy Matlock.

What would you like to hear tomorrow, Nolan?

Matlock 8-0 besides!

BIG 8TH-INNING CARDS RALLY SINKS BUMS

Cards win thanks to Thurman, who doubled in the tying and go-ahead runs. A marquee matchup in which neither ace (Branca, BKN, 12-3 or Day, STLC, 9-6) figured in the decision. Brecheen got the W.

BKN (50-31) 2 5 1

Today's #1947League hero, Bob Thurman, was inducted into the Puerto Rican Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991. He played in Puerto Rico between 1947 and 1954.

Two eventual Cooperstown Hall of Famers joined him in the outfield during his final season in Puerto Rico. Name them.
