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.

::Tip of the Cap to Cliff!::
PS Please tell us that Octavius was the Centre Fielder.

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.

In how many different leagues did Wilmer Fields win MVP honors?
One guess only.

That’s okay, batters behind me in the lineup can narrow down your location.
@RuthODay @YusufToropov @tabletopmania @stlcolorbaseball @ted_duffield @cwgrody @cbtryon @sendtherunners @aurelia @BigEarl @baseball @OhhJim @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @blackvoices A quartet of leagues in four different countries. Fields belongs in the Hall.

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.
Today's #1947League game brought to you by @YakyuNightOwl and Nellie Lutcher.

There were two East-West games (NAL/NNL All-Star Games) in 1946.
Can you name the NNL starters?

Good guess, but not what we're looking for.
Before I subject you guys to more Grateful Dead, I'm going to text Cliff and see if I can stump him.with this.
(Probably not.)
Who knows, we might get him to join Mastodon....

Spud K'd 8. Joe D robbed P Dave Barnhill of a HR in B9.
