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

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 thrill I feel watching newly unearthed color footage of Teddy Ballgame hitting in 1941 is roughly equivalent to the thrill I feel watching the Beatles bounce ideas off each other in the Peter Jackson documentary GET BACK.
Enjoy.

All I'm going to say is that Dune 2 was magnificent and well worth waiting for, whether you've been waiting since, say, 1975 -- or since Dune 1. I fall into both categories.

BROWNS CAPITALIZE ON SLOPPY FIELDING, TAKE 3RD STRAIGHT
St. Louis pulled a full game ahead of the Yankees, thanks to a Cleveland defensive meltdown in the 8th. Ford Smith logged his 11th win against 5 defeats. He also doubled in the go-ahead run.

Going outside of our usual #1947League timeframe for today's question.
He was the founder of the Pythian Base Ball Club of Philadelphia in 1865; he also played in the first documented interracial #baseball game.
Name him. If you can!
(I'm opening this up to Cliff. That's how tough it is.)
@tabletopmania @stlcolorbaseball @RuthODay @YakyuNightOwl @ted_duffield @cwgrody @cbtryon @sendtherunners @aurelia @BigEarl @baseball @OhhJim @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @blackvoices
So Nolan and I know this amazing gentleman Cliff from my time back on the bird site. I thought I had finally stumped him. Not so much.
It is my duty to inform you that Cliff actually knew this. Song pick to follow. In the meantime.... the correct answer is Octavius Catto.

FIELDS, PIRATES COOL DOWN BRAVES
Bombs away! The Pittsburgh offense, long dormant, exploded: HRs from Cox, Mauch, Marshall, and Kiner gave starter Wilmer Fields plenty of breathing room. He logged his 10th win. Braves win streak stops at 9.

You DO want to see footage of Babe Ruth hitting a stand-up triple, and Lou Gehrig launching a grand slam, as the Yankees destroy the Senators, 21-1, in 1927. I just know you do.

His technique really took her out of this world. Same goes for Barney Brown's mastery of the screwball today. Pirates fans with little to cheer for in recent weeks consider Brown a real gone guy.
