SENATORS STOP THE BLEEDING AT THE COYLE
"Peanuts" Davis got Minoso, the potential go-ahead run, to line out to Edsall Walker in RF on the final play. Davis: CG win. Tigers' win streak was snapped at 7.
Owner Bill Robinson dances for joy.

And just for fun, here's a recreation of the master's routine for that classic number ...

A legend too. Honi Coles and Cholly Atkins met in 1940 while working with Cab Calloway, and after the war, the duo performed together for years.

"Peanuts" Davis and Henry Aaron played on the same team ... but not at the same time. Name that team.
For an extra song pick, tell me what position Aaron played on that team.

@YakyuNightOwl @RuthODay @tabletopmania @ted_duffield @Jaden3 @cbtryon @sendtherunners @aurelia @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @baseball @OhhJim @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @blackvoices
PHOTO FINISH!
@YakyuNightOwl by 16 seconds!
Not 2B. SS.
What would you like to hear, Yakyu?
@YusufToropov @RuthODay @tabletopmania @ted_duffield @Jaden3 @cbtryon @sendtherunners @aurelia @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @baseball @OhhJim @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @blackvoices I knew it had to be middle infield because the "whatcouldabeen" factor hits me every time I remember Henry Aaron with the Clowns. Toni and Hank? Together? Kicking some ass and drawing scouts? Yes please!
@YakyuNightOwl @RuthODay @tabletopmania @ted_duffield @Jaden3 @cbtryon @sendtherunners @aurelia @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @baseball @OhhJim @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @blackvoices
That's a DP combination I would have paid big money to see...

@YusufToropov @RuthODay @tabletopmania @ted_duffield @Jaden3 @cbtryon @sendtherunners @aurelia @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @baseball @OhhJim @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @blackvoices Right? To have even some warmup footage of the two of them today? That would be gold.
While thinking about a selection for tomorrow, I have a fun trivia question.
If you put their appearances together, Toni Stone and Hank Aaron started 120 games at what MLB ballpark?
@YakyuNightOwl @RuthODay @tabletopmania @ted_duffield @Jaden3 @cbtryon @sendtherunners @aurelia @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @baseball @OhhJim @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @blackvoices
Sportsman's Park?
@YusufToropov @YakyuNightOwl @tabletopmania @ted_duffield @Jaden3 @cbtryon @sendtherunners @aurelia @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @baseball @OhhJim @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @blackvoices
Yankee Stadium
@RuthODay @YusufToropov @tabletopmania @ted_duffield @Jaden3 @cbtryon @sendtherunners @aurelia @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @baseball @OhhJim @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @blackvoices Another good guess, but not in New York.
@RuthODay @YusufToropov @tabletopmania @ted_duffield @Jaden3 @cbtryon @sendtherunners @aurelia @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @baseball @OhhJim @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @blackvoices I'll give everyone a big hint.
@YakyuNightOwl @YusufToropov @tabletopmania @ted_duffield @Jaden3 @cbtryon @sendtherunners @aurelia @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @baseball @OhhJim @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @blackvoices
Are multiple guesses okay, or do we go through the order just once?
@RuthODay @YusufToropov @tabletopmania @ted_duffield @Jaden3 @cbtryon @sendtherunners @aurelia @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @baseball @OhhJim @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @blackvoices Sure, why not?
@YakyuNightOwl @YusufToropov @tabletopmania @ted_duffield @Jaden3 @cbtryon @sendtherunners @aurelia @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @baseball @OhhJim @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @blackvoices
Okay.
It’s not going to too much use in my case because I watched the hint fly past me for strike two.
Griffith Stadium?
@RuthODay @YusufToropov @tabletopmania @ted_duffield @Jaden3 @cbtryon @sendtherunners @aurelia @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @baseball @OhhJim @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @blackvoices Another good guess, but not in Washington, D.C.
@RuthODay @YusufToropov @tabletopmania @ted_duffield @Jaden3 @cbtryon @sendtherunners @aurelia @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @baseball @OhhJim @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @blackvoices Here's a bigger hint, during Aaron's last game in the park, he scuffled for two errors with the glove, but hit a two-run jack. It was September of 1974.
Like their careers with the Clowns, they would not cross paths.
@RuthODay @YusufToropov @tabletopmania @ted_duffield @Jaden3 @cbtryon @sendtherunners @aurelia @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @baseball @OhhJim @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @blackvoices Aaron and Stone both started at Candlestick Park.
How about "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" by San Francisco's own Vince Guaraldi?
Everyone who got on that mound was casting their fate to the wind.
Vince wrote soundtracks for the "Peanuts" shows, so this comes back around to the Clowns and "Peanuts" Davis.

Did not have anything west coast on my bingo card.

Me neither
@YusufToropov @RuthODay @tabletopmania @ted_duffield @Jaden3 @cbtryon @sendtherunners @aurelia @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @baseball @OhhJim @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @blackvoices Right? Two legendary Negro Leagues stars on a team without a home field, have a MLB stadium that opened in 1960 in common, and it still isn't their home ballpark.
They were about a year apart in the Bay Area as well. Hank left to play in another league. Just like the Clowns.
