    Just in under the wire! Joe Black, purportedly a normal human being, somehow became a demigod in 1952, winning 15 games for the Brooklyn Dodgers and saving 15 more.

    He also had an era of 2.15, and only missed winning the ERA championship because he was 8 innings short for qualification.

          SPAHN SHUTS DOWN TIANT, PIRATES

          Braves keep right on rolling as Spahn evens his record at 8-8 with a two-hit shutout. Boston has won eight in a row. Tiant’s quality start goes to waste.

          BOSB(42-36) 350
          PIT(36-42) 020

            #Baseball #Trivia for the #fediverse:

            Did Luis Tiant ever win a #WorldSeries?

            Of course he did.

            Your job: Tell me which one.

            One guess only, please.

                You are correct, sir!

                Luis E. Tiant (father of the Boston Red Sox star) was a standout pitcher for the #WorldSeries champion 1947 New York Cubans.

                What would you like to hear, Nolan?

                By the way – almost forgot that yesterday was a shutout win for those red-hot Boston Braves. Cue the King and the Beautiful Shufflers… #1947League
