(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.

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.

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?
@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.

Impressive day from Chandler. He’s no Rick Wise though.
@tabletopmania @RuthODay @ted_duffield @Bertrecords @Runyan50 @YakyuNightOwl @stlcolorbaseball @cwgrody @cbtryon @aurelia @baseball @APBAreplay @mattmaison @blackvoices
How old was Willard Brown (HOF) when he debuted for the St. Louis Browns?
@tabletopmania @RuthODay @ted_duffield @Bertrecords @Runyan50 @YakyuNightOwl @stlcolorbaseball @cwgrody @cbtryon @aurelia @baseball @APBAreplay @mattmaison @blackvoices
Answer to #1947League question: Willard Brown was 32 when he played for the St. Louis Browns in July of '47.
In later years, he appears to have fibbed about the year of his birth so as to suggest that his short stay in the AL was due to his age.
It wasn't. It was because humans don't perform well in environments like this:

Big #1947League matchup today: Wilmer Fields (10-7, 2.92, .267, 11 HR, 20 3B) and his Pirates take on Satchel Paige (9-7, 4.07) and the New York Yankees in the third and deciding game of their series. Let's head out to Yankee Stadium now...
@tabletopmania @RuthODay @ted_duffield @Bertrecords @Runyan50 @YakyuNightOwl @stlcolorbaseball @cwgrody @cbtryon @aurelia @baseball @APBAreplay @mattmaison @blackvoices @blackmastodon
FIELDS OUTDUELS PAIGE
Pirates outscored 18-9 in this series, but they took the rubber game thanks to a superb performance from Wilmer Fields (CG, 8 Ks).
All came down to the last at-bat: McQuinn thrown out at the plate trying to score the tying run!

Wilmer Fields played for a lot of great Homestead Grays teams ... but he didn't play for the squad that many #baseball historians now argue was the greatest of all time. Bar none. And let's have no grumbling from the also-rans. (Talking to you, '27 Yankees.)
Which Grays team was that?

Hey, can I ask a question?
Did you ever wake up to find a day that broke up your mind, destroyed your notion of circular time?
