And here's another cool data graphic....all-time ERA leaders. Fascinating to watch knowing that Koufax had the opposite career trajectory of everyone else. Started out mediocre, got way, way better...
Josh Gibson clubbed round-trippers #31 and #32 in his team's 76th game. Ford Smith held the high-flying Phils to 6 hits. St. Louis's 3rd straight win from Philly.
I don't know the outcome of the (fictional?) event below.
Here's a question I do have the answer to, though. Which of these two men has the higher career OPS, according to the best available stats? One guess, please.
@ted_duffield shoots and scores! Yes, it was the Cleveland Buckeyes who fell to the New York Cubans in the '47 #WorldSeries. What would you like to hear, sir?
Minnie Minoso has been incandescent lately. Today, he went 4-4, HR, 3 RBI, SB, pacing a Detroit win that was never really in doubt. Senators' swoon continues.
