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.

RED SOX HOLD OFF YANKS IN GAME 3
Boston took the deciding game of the big three-game series. Lino Donoso – who finally seems to be finding his groove – got the W; Denny Galehouse got the save. Dave Barnhill got the GWRBI, tripling in Ted Williams.
NYY (48-36) 2 6 0

Quick. Before I have to ask Cliff!
Name the major rock bassist who was also a huge fan of Black baseball … and who donated over 200 autographed NAL/NNL baseballs to the #NLBM.

I threw that question over to Cliff, who got it instantly. The major rock bassist who is also (like yours truly) a NNL/NAL baseball geek is Geddy Lee of #Rush. (Cal Ripken Jr. is, too!)
Lee donated his collection of autographed #baseball s to #NLBM in 2008, bless his heart.

FYI: Katie Crutchfield : #Waxahatchee as Jeff Lynne : ELO. Real band, but nobody argues about who’s in charge

Getting ready to go on what people in Ireland insist on calling a “holiday,” but what this group, surely, knows is in fact a “vacation.”
Chauvinistic conceits aside, #1947League is on break until about April 7. Online intermittently though.
Cya! Enjoy Opening Day! Go A’s!

It keeps on not being Opening Day yet. Fortunately, I found a compelling four-minute documentary of an era long past that bears repeated viewing. Suspect it will get me through til Thursday.
Perhaps it will do the same for others. Offered as a humble service.

Multiple guesses okay on this one, by the way.

One of them found a lot of baseballs on tour. The other hit a lot of baseballs.
