In 1942, today's #1947League hero, Leon Day(HOF), was involved in one of the most controversial games in #WorldSeries history...but the team he played for during the season didn't make the Series. What happened?

One guess only.

In what league did today's hero, Silvio Garcia, make his professional debut?

Multiple guesses OK.

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.

Minnie Minoso hit .346 for a 1947 New York Cubans team that won the #WorldSeries.

Identify the team the Cubans outscored by a 42-26 margin in that Series.

Today's #1947League hero, Henry McHenry, led the NNL in both saves AND wins in 1939.

For what team did he play that year?
