No batboy from Oakland ever traveled further to the home field of the Giants.

The Tigers would remain segregated until June 6, 1958.

So in addition to being a die-hard A’s fan, I am also a die-hard Dodgers fan, with the exception of the year 1974.
@ted_duffield and @OhhJim I know, are of the other persuasion.
Gentlemen, start your engines.

DOBSON, BARNHILL RAIN ON YANKEES’ PARADE
NY fell to a full game behind the Browns, as Joe Dobson held the Bronx Bombers to four hits and K’d 7, going the distance. Dave Barnhill, now in RF when he doesn’t start, went 2-3 and scored.
BOSR (35-47) 450
NYY (48-34) 140

Today’s #1947League game brought to you by @YakyuNightOwl and Wynonie Harris. One-take 1947 magic. Love that stuff. #music
By the way, here’s the lowdown on the historic Willard Brown HR that Yakyu mentioned yesterday, also a bit of 1947 magic. Love that stuff too.

In the late ‘30s, Buck Leonard saw today’s hero, Dave Barnhill, play – and urged the Homestead Grays to sign him. What reason did the Grays’ brass give for choosing not to?

Yesterday I asked why the Homestead Grays’ front office overruled Buck Leonard and declined to sign Dave Barnhill. It was because he was too small for their liking. At 5’ 6", Barnhill wasn’t a typical Grays “big man.”
Their loss. In '48 he posted a 2.95 ERA and hit .343 for the New York Cubans.

The Giants filled pretty much every hole this offseason, which was a very pleasant surprise. The have a fighting chance now.

I think it’s going to be a great season and a great race.
