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.

It was September of 1974.
Like their careers with the Clowns, they would not cross paths.

How about “Cast Your Fate to the Wind” by San Francisco’s own Vince Guaraldi?
Everyone who got on that mound was casting their fate to the wind.
Vince wrote soundtracks for the “Peanuts” shows, so this comes back around to the Clowns and “Peanuts” Davis.

Two legendary Negro Leagues stars on a team without a home field, have a MLB stadium that opened in 1960 in common, and it still isn’t their home ballpark.
They were about a year apart in the Bay Area as well. Hank left to play in another league. Just like the Clowns.

So here’s what we’re going to do. I’m going to share reasons TO be an #Oakland #Athletics fan in 2024, because that’s what the Good Lord GAVE ME! The choice of living in POSSIBILITY!
Esteury Ruiz missed a month of play in '23, had an OBP of just .309, and STILL led the league in SBs (67). Rickey is a mentor. Watch out!

HUTCHINSON, BELL MANHANDLE SENATORS
Detroit cruised to the easy win at the Coyle, as Fred Hutchinson picked up his 12th win and Cool Papa Bell went 4-6 with 3 RBI. Tigers aim for three out of four on the road tomorrow.
Tigers now 5/12 back of first place.
DET (42-40) 9 19 0

Today’s #1947League game brought to you by @YakyuNightOwl@mastodon.world, Vince Guaraldi, and a tune that captures, in 189 perfect seconds, the full range of human joy and wonder.
Thanks to Charles Schulz, Guaraldi’s trio was surely the only jazz combo to make huge inroads into the elementary-school set.
