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.

That’s okay, Yusuf: there are far better hitters in the lineup behind me who are narrowing down your location.

May 12, 1946. Longest game ever played in the #NegroLeagues *: Gentry Jessup and Peanuts Davis EACH pitch 20 innings!
Box score of one of the most remarkable pitching duels in #majorleague history. American Giants & Clowns log a marathon 3-3 tie.

The 20-inning pitcher’s duel between Gentry Jessup and Peanuts Davis is further proof-- as though any were needed-- that you and I only got half of America’s #baseball history growing up. The least interesting half.
Here’s the SABR article on that astonishing May 12, 1946 game:

#1947League expanded standings. Yanks, Browns tied for first in American.
Phils just 1.5 ahead of Bums in National. Silvio Garcia’s Braves have won 9 in a row.
Next up: Cool Papa Bell and the red-hot Tigers, winners of 5 straight, visit the Coyle for a four-game set with the last-place Senators.

LONG DAY AT THE COYLE; TIGERS POST 6TH STRAIGHT WIN
Hal Newhouser improved his record to 9-8; Johnny Washington went 3-4 with 2 RBI. Suddenly Detroit is just 5 1/2 games out of first place.
Senators, meanwhile, on track to lose 120+ games.
DET (41-39) 4 10 0
WAS (20-62) 1 7 0

Today’s #1947League game has been brought to you by your friendly neighborhood Commissioner, and by … wait for it … #TOTO, in honor of the opening of a certain film based on a Frank Herbert novel…

The Senators, last seen lugging a 20-62 record into a game against Detroit, appear to have claimed their destiny as #1947League’s most consistently awful team.
Name the NNL’s equivalent–the team cofounded by Bill “Bojangles” Robinson that finished dead last for six straight seasons.
