Wow. That is painful – and accurate. 😐
So I’m going to give it to you, @[email protected] … although another correct answer is that they were both batboys. Willard Brown was a spring training batboy for the KC Monarchs, for whom he would later star. They played in Shreveport before the season started.

No batboy from Oakland ever traveled further to the home field of the Giants.

The Tigers would remain segregated until June 6, 1958.

So in addition to being a die-hard A’s fan, I am also a die-hard Dodgers fan, with the exception of the year 1974.
@[email protected] and @[email protected] I know, are of the other persuasion.
Gentlemen, start your engines.

DOBSON, BARNHILL RAIN ON YANKEES’ PARADE
NY fell to a full game behind the Browns, as Joe Dobson held the Bronx Bombers to four hits and K’d 7, going the distance. Dave Barnhill, now in RF when he doesn’t start, went 2-3 and scored.
BOSR (35-47) 450
NYY (48-34) 140

Today’s #1947League game brought to you by @[email protected] and Wynonie Harris. One-take 1947 magic. Love that stuff. #music
By the way, here’s the lowdown on the historic Willard Brown HR that Yakyu mentioned yesterday, also a bit of 1947 magic. Love that stuff too.

The Giants filled pretty much every hole this offseason, which was a very pleasant surprise. The have a fighting chance now.
