ROMBY TAMES PHILS

Give the Giants a decent starting pitcher, and suddenly they look like a first-division team. New York dominated as Bob Romby held the Phillies to just 5 hits.

PHI (51-29) 1 5 1
NYG(39-49) 7 11 1

#Baseball #Trivia question:

In 1949, Bob Romby's Baltimore Elite Giants took up residence in the NAL -- the NNL having folded. What team did they defeat in the playoffs for the league championship that year?

#1947LEAGUE PREVIEW: PHI @ NYG

Giants (Joe Black 10-6, 3.04) aim for 2 in a row at home over the Phillies (Dutch Leonard 10-6, 3.82).

You've heard of "Spahn and Sain and pray for rain"?

For NYG, it's more like "Black and Romby and Bring on the zombies."

BLACK SHUTS DOWN PHILLIES

Three unearned NYG runs and 5 walks off PHI in the seventh inning gave Joe Black more than enough to work with. Phillies' lead down to 1 game in National.

PHI (51-30) 373
NYG(40-40) 971

I remember seeing an interview with Mays where he talked about what it was like for the Giants to play the Dodgers in the early '60s. It always seemed to be Drysdale and Koufax. "Don't you guys have anyone else?"

(Honor system, no looking stuff up!)

P Joe Black won Rookie of the Year honors in 1952. This was long before WAR, of course.

We could come close, though.

Add his '52 Ws to his SVs.

What's the total?

1 guess. 1st answer within 5 wins.

Just in under the wire! Joe Black, purportedly a normal human being, somehow became a demigod in 1952, winning 15 games for the Brooklyn Dodgers and saving 15 more.

He also had an era of 2.15, and only missed winning the ERA championship because he was 8 innings short for qualification.

#1947League preview: BRAVES vs. PIRATES

Boston, winner of 7 straight, is the hottest team in the league at the moment; they send Warren Spahn (6-7, 3.52) to the mound to face Luis E. Tiant (8-7, 2.95). Pirates aiming to halt a 4-game losing streak.

2 teams headed in opposite directions.

Luis E. Tiant

SPAHN SHUTS DOWN TIANT, PIRATES

Braves keep right on rolling as Spahn evens his record at 8-8 with a two-hit shutout. Boston has won eight in a row. Tiant's quality start goes to waste.

BOSB(42-36) 350
PIT(36-42) 020

#Baseball #Trivia for the #fediverse:

Did Luis Tiant ever win a #WorldSeries?

Of course he did.

Your job: Tell me which one.

One guess only, please.
