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, batters behind me in the lineup can narrow down your location.

You DO want to see footage of Babe Ruth hitting a stand-up triple, and Lou Gehrig launching a grand slam, as the Yankees destroy the Senators, 21-1, in 1927. I just know you do.

Looks like Brown had a Nuke Laloosh-style setback in the 6th.
From the movie, after Nuke’s first appearance:
Manager Joe “Skip” Riggins and coach Larry Hockett talk about it after the contest ends.
Skip: “He walked 18.”
Larry: “New league record!”
Skip: “He struck out 18.”
Larry: “Another new league record. In addition, he hit the sportswriters, the public-address announcer, the bull mascot — twice — also new league records. But, Joe. This guy’s got some serious s—.”

His technique really took her out of this world. Same goes for Barney Brown’s mastery of the screwball today. Pirates fans with little to cheer for in recent weeks consider Brown a real gone guy.
Today’s #1947League game brought to you by @YakyuNightOwl and Nellie Lutcher.

There were two East-West games (NAL/NNL All-Star Games) in 1946.
Can you name the NNL starters?
