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…

BROWN, CHANDLER TOP SOX
Boston took a 1-0 lead into the 6th, then Willard Brown doubled and scored on Clark’s single. In the 8th, Brown singled, stole 2nd, scored again on a Clark single.
Spud K’d 8. Joe D robbed P Dave Barnhill of a HR in B9.
BOSR (34-47) 150
NYY(47-34) 273

The other day, I asked you to name BOTH starters of each of 1946’s East-West games. Trick question, but our buddy Cliff saw right through it. Barney Brown started both games and went 1-1; he pitched three scoreless innings in each.
Poll: How many people here think genius Cliff should join Mastodon?

Even if it isn’t the same Cliff, everyone will enjoy this Tom D’Antoni piece on the late Wild Bill Hagy.

While we wait for the wheels of democracy to turn, here’s Cliff’s victory song for getting the right answer on the #1947League trivia question. Cue up #JimmyBuffett. And I like my #dog too.

There is a baseball-related overlap between the careers of today’s #1947League hero, Willard Brown (HOF) and MC Hammer. What is it? One guess.

He played winter ball with Hank Aaron and MC Hammer was the A’s batboy nicknamed “Hammer” after Aaron?

Great guess, but I’ve got Brown in Puerto Rican winter league in '52-'53 season, Aaron there the following year. As far as I can tell, unless you have receipts the contrary, their paths did not cross. Anyway, it wasn’t what I had in mind. Reluctantly, then, I’m going to call this a swing and a miss.🤔
