FIELDS OUTDUELS PAIGE

Pirates outscored 18-9 in this series, but they took the rubber game thanks to a superb performance from Wilmer Fields (CG, 8 Ks).

All came down to the last at-bat: McQuinn thrown out at the plate trying to score the tying run!

It is in fact the District of Columbia. They were the Washington Elite Giants before they were the Baltimore Elite Giants.

What would you like to hear, Nolan?

YANKS STORM BACK, TAKE GAME 2 FROM PIRATES

Willard Brown (HOF) posted a jaw-dropping 5-6 day (3 2B, HR, 3R, 3 RBI) as the Yankees dominated. Starter Spud Chandler picked up his tenth win of the year. And hit a grand slam.

If it had been a fight, they'd've stopped it.

Yakyu is correct. The greatest big-league #baseball team of all time was the 1931 Homestead Grays.

Yes, that is an objective fact. Yes, I will die on this hill. Metaphorically speaking.

BUCS TOP YANKS

NY gets a quality start from Morris, outhits Pirates 10-5, but can't connect the dots in any inning until the 9th, when a two-out rally delivered too little, too late. Willard Brown's 3 doubles go to waste.

R.T. Walker gets the W for Pittsburgh; Kiner homers.

PIT 4 5 1
NYY2 10 0

Here's a contemporary account of the bitterly disputed deciding playoff game.

@RuthODay @ted_duffield @tabletopmania @Bertrecords @Runyan50 @YakyuNightOwl @stlcolorbaseball @cwgrody @cbtryon @aurelia @baseball @APBAreplay @mattmaison @blackvoices

My buddy Cliff, a Baltimore fan who knows all and sees all, correctly answered: "1st off they didn't lose it was stolen. They protested and were told they forfeited for protesting. Grays"

So ... today's #1947League game is brought to you by Baltimore Elite Giants superfan Cliff, and by the Steve Miller Band.

Answer to #1947League question: Willard Brown was 32 when he played for the St. Louis Browns in July of '47.

In later years, he appears to have fibbed about the year of his birth so as to suggest that his short stay in the AL was due to his age.

It wasn't. It was because humans don't perform well in environments like this:
