Thank you for that, Yakyu. I almost felt like leaving, mid-game, but wanted to stay to see what happened with the t-shirt.
Normally I wouldn’t have an interest in a team from TN, but Dave Stewart has a role with the ownership group. He’s a solid guy, probably with the most experience of anyone across all levels of a baseball organization.

Today’s #1947League hero, Johnny “Needlenose” Wright, had a historic connection with the real-life Brooklyn #Dodgers
What was it?

His brother, Turner, was the sales rep for the company that sold the pliers and wrenches that were used by the sprinkler maintenance specialists of the grounds crew at Ebbet’s Field.

#YIAY how #1947League Dodger star Johnny “Needlenose” Wright was connected to the real-life Brooklyn club. Answer: He was the second Black player Branch Rickey signed, after Jackie.

DAY, CARDS TOP BUMS
Leon got the W, scored what turned out to be the winning run as St. Louis bounced back from yesterday’s loss to Brooklyn. Day:10 wins, .295, 16 RBI.
Dodgers ace Branca collided with Kurowski while trying to break up a DP. Out 10.

Frequently compared to Satchel Paige, Leon Day may have had the edge over Satch in '47 because he was a daily player.
Name a position he played as a regular when he wasn’t the starting pitcher.
One guess.

To be fair, Branca went in hard.
🙂
He misses two starts. A big deal, potentially.

The Dodgers move to file a protest.
