That’s okay, Yusuf: there are far better hitters in the lineup behind me who are narrowing down your location.

May 12, 1946. Longest game ever played in the #NegroLeagues *: Gentry Jessup and Peanuts Davis EACH pitch 20 innings!
Box score of one of the most remarkable pitching duels in #majorleague history. American Giants & Clowns log a marathon 3-3 tie.

The 20-inning pitcher's duel between Gentry Jessup and Peanuts Davis is further proof-- as though any were needed-- that you and I only got half of America's #baseball history growing up. The least interesting half.
Here's the SABR article on that astonishing May 12, 1946 game:

#1947League expanded standings. Yanks, Browns tied for first in American.
Phils just 1.5 ahead of Bums in National. Silvio Garcia's Braves have won 9 in a row.
Next up: Cool Papa Bell and the red-hot Tigers, winners of 5 straight, visit the Coyle for a four-game set with the last-place Senators.

Off day for #1947League. Catch you tomorrow!

LONG DAY AT THE COYLE; TIGERS POST 6TH STRAIGHT WIN
Hal Newhouser improved his record to 9-8; Johnny Washington went 3-4 with 2 RBI. Suddenly Detroit is just 5 1/2 games out of first place.
Senators, meanwhile, on track to lose 120+ games.
DET (41-39) 4 10 0
WAS (20-62) 1 7 0

Today's #1947League game has been brought to you by your friendly neighborhood Commissioner, and by ... wait for it .... #TOTO, in honor of the opening of a certain film based on a Frank Herbert novel....

The Senators, last seen lugging a 20-62 record into a game against Detroit, appear to have claimed their destiny as #1947League's most consistently awful team.
Name the NNL's equivalent--the team cofounded by Bill "Bojangles" Robinson that finished dead last for six straight seasons.

That's mighty impressive, but he did it backwards and set the world record. That's basically impossible.
The New York Black Yankees went 243-462-19 over the course of their existence. The Seattle Mariners went 246-400 from 1977 to 1980.
Both teams were beloved tho.

@YakyuNightOwl with the correct answer and then some!
The Black Yankees usually struggled to match the level of play of the New York Cubans. But they were beloved, indeed.
Did not know that about Robinson!
What would you like to hear, sir?

Boy, was I hoping you'd say something like that. :-)
Yes!

Thanks for indulging me.

WOW!
Take that, Fred!
Let me just say ... If you can watch that without feeling that man's joy to be alive, you've got a SERIOUS problem with your reception.
And Fats!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THAT. INSTANT GOOD VIBES!
