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.

#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.

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.

That’s mighty impressive, but he did it backwards and set the world record. That’s basically impossible.
The New York Black Yankees went 243-462-19 over the course of their existence. The Seattle Mariners went 246-400 from 1977 to 1980.
Both teams were beloved tho.

@YakyuNightOwl with the correct answer and then some!
The Black Yankees usually struggled to match the level of play of the New York Cubans. But they were beloved, indeed.
Did not know that about Robinson!
What would you like to hear, sir?

Yes!
