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.

Off day for #1947League. Your commissioner will be enjoying a screening of #Dune 2 this evening!

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.
CLE (33-51) 184
STLB(50-35)450

“Act like you got some sense. You might get a little bit of this.”
700 million views means #Outkast is in a league of their own.

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.

::Tip of the Cap to Cliff!::
PS Please tell us that Octavius was the Centre Fielder.

Alas, no. He was a shortstop.
