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.

Tangent: Sandy refused to plunk Juan Marichal in the infamous Roseboro game.

There are a lot of lessons to draw from August 22, 1965. Especially about turning something ugly into a teachable moment.

There is a great (fairly short) video about this incident and their reconciliation. I will track it down.

Here is that superb video about the toxic brawl ignited by John #Roseboro and Juan #Marichal (make no mistake, they collaborated on it) … and also about the inspiring story of their reconciliation.

SENATORS STOP THE BLEEDING AT THE COYLE
“Peanuts” Davis got Minoso, the potential go-ahead run, to line out to Edsall Walker in RF on the final play. Davis: CG win. Tigers’ win streak was snapped at 7.
Owner Bill Robinson dances for joy.

And just for fun, here’s a recreation of the master’s routine for that classic number …

A legend too. Honi Coles and Cholly Atkins met in 1940 while working with Cab Calloway, and after the war, the duo performed together for years.

“Peanuts” Davis and Henry Aaron played on the same team … but not at the same time. Name that team.
For an extra song pick, tell me what position Aaron played on that team.
