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.

Today's #1947League game brought to you by @YakyuNightOwl, 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.

Our #1947League hero, Cool Papa Bell, really did once score from first on a bunt. He also appears to have scored from second on a sac fly...multiple times.

But was he faster than the speed of light? What's the truth behind the story of him flicking a lightswitch and being in bed before the room went dark? One guess.

@YusufToropov @YakyuNightOwl @tabletopmania @ted_duffield @Jaden3 @cbtryon @sendtherunners @aurelia @BigEarl @baseball @OhhJim @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @blackvoices

The room had a problem with bugs, which would come out when it was dark. So after turning off the lights, he wanted to avoid the creepy -crawlies.

Answer to yesterday's #1947League question.

This doesn't so much debunk one man's speed as shine a light on another man's (often-overlooked) gift for marketing and narrative. Two geniuses, but the real genius in this particular story is Satchel Paige.

#BlackHistory Month may be over, but all year long the career of Cool Papa Bell can and should BLOW YOUR DAMN MIND.

Here's stuff I found out, via an interview with him I unearthed, that I couldn't figure out how to shoehorn into a question. Enjoy.

Bob Kendrick of #NegroLeagues #Baseball Museum on Cool Papa Bell.

Stop and think for a moment about what it means to circle the bases in 12 seconds.

Or for Jesse Owens to refuse to race someone because he's too fast.

Or to score from first on a bunt.

All that stuff happened. Here on Earth.

TIGERS TAKE 3 OF 4 AT THE COYLE

The kind of line score that drives managers nuts. Detroit wins, despite Senators outhitting Tigers 12-6. Three unearned runs in 6th make the difference. Trout gets the W, Newberry the SV.

Today's #1947League game brought to you by Cab Calloway and the Nicholas Brothers.

Calloway: sui generis.

As Josh Gibson was to Babe Ruth, the Nicholas Brothers were to Gene Kelly/Fred Astaire. AL/NL wasn't the only place where excellence didn't mean you made the big time.

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

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 thrill I feel watching newly unearthed color footage of Teddy Ballgame hitting in 1941 is roughly equivalent to the thrill I feel watching the Beatles bounce ideas off each other in the Peter Jackson documentary GET BACK.

Enjoy.

All I'm going to say is that Dune 2 was magnificent and well worth waiting for, whether you've been waiting since, say, 1975 -- or since Dune 1. I fall into both categories.

BROWNS CAPITALIZE ON SLOPPY FIELDING, TAKE 3RD STRAIGHT

St. Louis pulled a full game ahead of the Yankees, thanks to a Cleveland defensive meltdown in the 8th. Ford Smith logged his 11th win against 5 defeats. He also doubled in the go-ahead run.

Going outside of our usual #1947League timeframe for today's question.

He was the founder of the Pythian Base Ball Club of Philadelphia in 1865; he also played in the first documented interracial #baseball game.

Name him. If you can!

(I'm opening this up to Cliff. That's how tough it is.)

So Nolan and I know this amazing gentleman Cliff from my time back on the bird site. I thought I had finally stumped him. Not so much.

It is my duty to inform you that Cliff actually knew this. Song pick to follow. In the meantime.... the correct answer is Octavius Catto.

Bombs away! The Pittsburgh offense, long dormant, exploded: HRs from Cox, Mauch, Marshall, and Kiner gave starter Wilmer Fields plenty of breathing room. He logged his 10th win. Braves win streak stops at 9.

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.

Can you name the NNL starters?
