Not sure that was the plan but our depth certainly showed.

I should clarify. I'm looking for the team he REPRESENTED in the All-Star game. sorry...

Cliff, ultimate baseball genius, knew not only that Gene Bremer played for the Memphis Red Sox, but that I had asked this selfsame #1947League question back when I was doing this on the bird app. All hail CLIFF!

#SarahLangs may not be around in our universe to chronicle this, but the outcome was one she'd like.
Mize HR keys a 4-run Brooklyn rally in the 8th. Byrd settles down after rough start.

#1947League question:
Johnny Mize (#1947League hero for second consecutive day), Ty Cobb, Bill Terry, Frank ('The Big Hurt") Thomas, and Josh Gibson -- all born in Georgia, and all in the Hall of Fame.
There's one more #baseball Hall of Famer from the state of Georgia. Name him.

I know I have to exempt myself from this since I’m in the text with Cliff but I totally had this one. Two Georgia born players that should be in Cooperstown are Rap Dixon and Bill Byrd.

Check and double check. You and I agree, Nolan! :-)
For those keeping score at home, the missing Georgia-born Hall of Famer was Jackie Robinson.

BUMS TAKE 3 OF 4 FROM TRIBE
Bremer gets the save, Taylor the win, and MIksis the GWRBI as Brooklyn's record improves to 55-34 -- tops in the league. They've overtaken the Phils (for now at least) despite three regulars being on IL.

"Miksis, you say" -- my buddy Cliff, as he texts me an image of his autographed Eddie Miksis postcard
(Spoiler alert -- he has all the autographs that ever existed or ever will exist. He did explain all this to me once. Something to do with a wormhole.)

Today's #1947League hero, Gene Bremer, broke in with a Cincinnati Tigers squad that included the legendary Ted "Double Duty" Radcliffe.
Radcliffe got his nickname in 1932 from Damon Runyon, who saw him do something extraordinary during a doubleheader. What was it?

CORRECT! Two winners today. (Nolan got it on text.) What would you like to hear tomorrow, @ted_duffield ?

POWER PLAYS LIFT PHILLY OVER RED SOX
Phils = 11th of 12 in HRs; usually a doubles-and-triples kind of offense. Not last night, though. Davis, Neil, and Bassett all went long. Groundhog Thompson (10-5) got the win.

The Homestead Grays squad for which Frank "Groundhog" Thompson pitched in 1947 finished fourth in the standings that year.
Name the team that finished second in the NNL in '47 ... but won 4 more games than the pennant-winners, the New York Cubans.
One guess.
