#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.)

(On a separate note, congrats to @RuthODay and their Blue Jays for winning an entertaining and downright crazy game at the Coliseum yesterday against my beloved A's.)

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.

Aaand I'm back. Thanks for the patience in the clubhouse as I handled some self-care issues. #1947League back online soon. HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

My beloved Oakland A's had gone 515 games without a complete game ... and then ... last night ... ESTES! :-)

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.

PIT 4 5 1
NYY2 10 0

My buddy Cliff, a Baltimore fan who knows all and sees all, correctly answered: "1st off they didn't lose it was stolen. They protested and were told they forfeited for protesting. Grays"

#1947League question:

What city did the Baltimore Elite Giants play in before they took up residence in Baltimore?

#baseball #trivia

@YusufToropov @RuthODay @ted_duffield @Bertrecords @[email protected] @[email protected] @stlcolorbaseball @cwgrody @cbtryon @aurelia @baseball @APBAreplay @mattmaison @blackvoices

D.C.?

@tabletopmania @RuthODay @ted_duffield @Bertrecords @Runyan50 @YakyuNightOwl @stlcolorbaseball @cwgrody @cbtryon @aurelia @baseball @APBAreplay @mattmaison @blackvoices

It is in fact the District of Columbia. They were the Washington Elite Giants before they were the Baltimore Elite Giants.

What would you like to hear, Nolan?

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.
