You are correct, @YakyuNightOwl ! What would you like to hear?
@YusufToropov @RuthODay @tabletopmania @stlcolorbaseball @ted_duffield @cwgrody @cbtryon @sendtherunners @aurelia @BigEarl @baseball @OhhJim @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @blackvoices Rewinding back to 1947, how about “He’s a Real Gone Guy” by Nellie Lutcher?

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.

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

Good guess, but not what we’re looking for.
Before I subject you guys to more Grateful Dead, I’m going to text Cliff and see if I can stump him.with this.
(Probably not.)
Who knows, we might get him to join Mastodon…
