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.

Together with John Britton, today’s #1947League hero Jimmy Newberry did something in 1952 that no Black player had done before. What was it?

Jimmy Bonner broke the color barrier in Japan in 1936.

I stand corrected, @YakyuNightOwl !
Had a feeling I should have gone to the authoritative source – you – rather than trusting something online…
Live and learn!

BROWNS TOP TRIBE IN EXTRAS
Dean blew a 2-run lead and the SV in the 9th, which basically led to another game. Rusty Peters stroked the walk-off GWRBI with a single in the bottom of the 16th for St. Louis. Booker McDaniel got the W.

Chuck Berry and the Beautiful Shufflers celebrate the Browns’ extra-inning walk-off. The win puts them half a game in front of the Yankees in the seemingly endless game of LeapFrog that is the American division of #1947League.

The team for which Booker McDaniel played produced more AL/NL players than any other NNL/NAL team.
Can you name it?
