ESPN.com apparently didn't get the memo about Black Leagues stats being MLB stats (not sure what's up with that) -- but if you zoom over to baseball-reference.com you'll see that the single-season batting average record belongs to #1947League's very own Tetelo Vargas.

GIANTS TAKE THREE OF FOUR FROM BROWNS

Bob Romby got the win; Bill Rigney's solo homer proved the GWRBI. Ford Smith took the loss.

Cliff got the answer to this, which is entertaining and which I will share as soon as possible. #1947League will return when the deadline fever passes... Say a prayer if you're so inclined! 🙂

Not baseball, but...

Francis Ford Coppola and Ali McGraw prepare to give out an Oscar in 1979. One of these people wolfed down rock promoter Bill Graham's magic cookie, unaware that its most notable ingredient was #cannabis. Can you guess which one?

OK, if you're just tuning in, this thread is part of a 3-years-and-counting #baseball simulation project replaying the 1947 season fully integrated with #NegroLeagues stars of the era. (As opposed to a handful of Black players.)

Attached: 1 image 1/x This #thread is for #blackmastodon, #MLB, and #baseball at large: You may have heard that a while back, in a long-overdue move, big-league baseball ruled that all official Black Leagues stats were now recognized as MLB statistics. As a (white) fan of the great players of the Black Leagues, I was excited by this move ... but I felt it was just the beginning. #1947League #apba

To create game results in #1947League, I use good old dice and cards and handwritten scoresheets, via the #APBA #boardgame.

If you're not familiar with #APBA, just think "D&D for #baseball nerds -- but equally viable in solo AND head-to-head play."

Definitely interesting to see the names that pop up that I had forgotten plus so many that I have learned about from watching the #1947League

Would recommend it.

By the way, if you've never heard of Red Barrett (I hadn't either, before I started #1947League), you may be interested to learn that he is the author of what may well be the single most badass start in MLB history. Curious? Details here:

3 more teams before we wrap up the team-by-team top players summary for #1947League.

While there's a break in the action, I thought it appropriate to acknowledge, to @RuthODay, Oakland's full responsibility for what happened at the Coliseum last night.

Condolences.

0 @YusufToropov , you have been posting quite a lot lately—baseball history, incisive political commentary, and even some surprising hubris for a currently-less-than-400 team— so I don’t expect you, 0 Yusuf, to have the time to post another game highlight link.

But please, 0 Yusuf, could you at least share with us the number of runs the A’s scored today?

Somehow I knew that taunting I did yesterday was going to come back to bite me in the ass.

Sigh.

Zero. Nada. Null set. Absence of runs. Goose egg. Aught, blank, cipher, nadir, naught, nix, nullity, oblivion, scratch, void, zilch, zip.

I’ve said this before in this space but I think that it bears repeating. It’s just a note to help pass down some baseball lore to the youngsters out there:

Blue Jays pitcher Kevin Gausman threw the baseball for nine full innings (109 times) to achieve what is known as a “complete game”. You youngsters might see the abbreviation “CG” and wonder what that means… well, there you go!

#1947League team pitching stats. Brooklyn way out front on this one, suggesting a winning strategy from the Flatbush GM. (Brooklyn dealt Dixie Walker to the Indians for alleged spitballer Bill Byrd.)

That is very gallant of you, Yusuf, to provide the highlights.

My fave (with the batter at about 3:35 of the video) was the Bob-Ucheresque “and the throw was just a liiitle off line” [from CF to 3B]

I won’t pain you with any more Twins/A’s highlights Yusuf. I will say that Royce Lewis is a special talent. That kid can hit.

BUCS TOP YANKS

NY gets a quality start from Morris, outhits Pirates 10-5, but can't connect the dots in any inning until the 9th, when a two-out rally delivered too little, too late. Willard Brown's 3 doubles go to waste.

R.T. Walker gets the W for Pittsburgh; Kiner homers.

YANKS STORM BACK, TAKE GAME 2 FROM PIRATES

Willard Brown (HOF) posted a jaw-dropping 5-6 day (3 2B, HR, 3R, 3 RBI) as the Yankees dominated. Starter Spud Chandler picked up his tenth win of the year. And hit a grand slam.

If it had been a fight, they'd've stopped it.

Loving that JayZ, Nolan! :-)

OK, so here's the thing. I have a fascinating, long-running combination of #ADHD and #CPTSD to deal with. Was having a tough time with those for the past couple of weeks. But #therapy and this video made a huge difference.

Real breakthrough. Hope it helps someone else.

: )

Edit to clarify that the KC guess was for the million years ago question.

For this new one, I will guess “Kansas City”.
