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.

So here's what we're going to do. I'm going to share reasons TO be an #Oakland #Athletics fan in 2024, because that's what the Good Lord GAVE ME! The choice of living in POSSIBILITY!
Esteury Ruiz missed a month of play in '23, had an OBP of just .309, and STILL led the league in SBs (67). Rickey is a mentor. Watch out!

HUTCHINSON, BELL MANHANDLE SENATORS
Detroit cruised to the easy win at the Coyle, as Fred Hutchinson picked up his 12th win and Cool Papa Bell went 4-6 with 3 RBI. Tigers aim for three out of four on the road tomorrow.
Tigers now 5/12 back of first place.

Today's #1947League game brought to you by @YakyuNightOwl, Vince Guaraldi, and a tune that captures, in 189 perfect seconds, the full range of human joy and wonder.
Thanks to Charles Schulz, Guaraldi's trio was surely the only jazz combo to make huge inroads into the elementary-school set.

Our #1947League hero, Cool Papa Bell, really did once score from first on a bunt. He also appears to have scored from second on a sac fly...multiple times.
But was he faster than the speed of light? What's the truth behind the story of him flicking a lightswitch and being in bed before the room went dark? One guess.
@YusufToropov @YakyuNightOwl @tabletopmania @ted_duffield @Jaden3 @cbtryon @sendtherunners @aurelia @BigEarl @baseball @OhhJim @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @blackvoices
The room had a problem with bugs, which would come out when it was dark. So after turning off the lights, he wanted to avoid the creepy -crawlies.

Eerie, fascinating, imaginative... yet not the answer we're looking for. :-)

Again, your words are too kind!
If one is to swing and miss, one can at least do it in style!

Answer to yesterday's #1947League question.
This doesn't so much debunk one man's speed as shine a light on another man's (often-overlooked) gift for marketing and narrative. Two geniuses, but the real genius in this particular story is Satchel Paige.

#BlackHistory Month may be over, but all year long the career of Cool Papa Bell can and should BLOW YOUR DAMN MIND.
Here's stuff I found out, via an interview with him I unearthed, that I couldn't figure out how to shoehorn into a question. Enjoy.

That whole damn article about Cool Papa Bell is amazing, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Here is the link again if you want to do a deeper dive:

Bob Kendrick of #NegroLeagues #Baseball Museum on Cool Papa Bell.
Stop and think for a moment about what it means to circle the bases in 12 seconds.
Or for Jesse Owens to refuse to race someone because he's too fast.
Or to score from first on a bunt.
All that stuff happened. Here on Earth.

TIGERS TAKE 3 OF 4 AT THE COYLE
The kind of line score that drives managers nuts. Detroit wins, despite Senators outhitting Tigers 12-6. Three unearned runs in 6th make the difference. Trout gets the W, Newberry the SV.

Today's #1947League game brought to you by Cab Calloway and the Nicholas Brothers.
Calloway: sui generis.
As Josh Gibson was to Babe Ruth, the Nicholas Brothers were to Gene Kelly/Fred Astaire. AL/NL wasn't the only place where excellence didn't mean you made the big time.

Together with John Britton, today's #1947League hero Jimmy Newberry did something in 1952 that no Black player had done before. What was it?

@YusufToropov @stlcolorbaseball @RuthODay @tabletopmania @ted_duffield @cwgrody @cbtryon @sendtherunners @aurelia @BigEarl @baseball @OhhJim @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @blackvoices This was the first time a Black player was on a team in Japan with another Black player. Jimmy Bonner broke the color barrier in Japan in 1936.

I stand corrected, @YakyuNightOwl !
Had a feeling I should have gone to the authoritative source -- you -- rather than trusting something online....
Live and learn!
@YusufToropov @stlcolorbaseball @RuthODay @tabletopmania @ted_duffield @cwgrody @cbtryon @sendtherunners @aurelia @BigEarl @baseball @OhhJim @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @blackvoices No worries at all. Credit to Professor Dexter Thomas for putting it all together from the shreds and fragments found by baseball historians.

BROWNS TOP TRIBE IN EXTRAS
Dean blew a 2-run lead and the SV in the 9th, which basically led to another game. Rusty Peters stroked the walk-off GWRBI with a single in the bottom of the 16th for St. Louis. Booker McDaniel got the W.

Chuck Berry and the Beautiful Shufflers celebrate the Browns' extra-inning walk-off. The win puts them half a game in front of the Yankees in the seemingly endless game of LeapFrog that is the American division of #1947League.

The team for which Booker McDaniel played produced more AL/NL players than any other NNL/NAL team.
Can you name it?
