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.

Today's hero, Minnie Minoso (HOF), had established himself primarily as a catcher in Cuba when he informed his manager he had to play a different position. Why did he do that?

Name the future Hall of Famer who, while in Cuba, played against today's hero, Silvio Garcia--and in later years called him "one of the best pure hitters who never played in (the AL or NL)."

Make it count. One guess only.

Of what two Kansas City Monarch Hall of Fame starters was Roy Campanella (himself a Hall of Famer) speaking when he said:

“My God. You couldn’t tell the difference.”

Here's today's question:

Name the team that offered Max Manning a contract sight unseen based on the righthander's stellar reputation ... then rescinded the offer instantly when their scout met him and saw he was Black.

question for the at large -- not just the people tagged in this post.

"I’m not gonna throw any smoke at your yoke; I’m gonna throw a pea at your knees."

To whom was speaking when he famously said this?

question for all reading this, not just the people tagged here.

One guess only.

Make it count!

    question:

    In 1949, Bob Romby's Baltimore Elite Giants took up residence in the NAL -- the NNL having folded. What team did they defeat in the playoffs for the league championship that year?

    (Honor system, no looking stuff up!)

    P Joe Black won Rookie of the Year honors in 1952. This was long before WAR, of course.

    We could come close, though.

    Add his '52 Ws to his SVs.

    What's the total?

    1 guess. 1st answer within 5 wins.

    The Senators, last seen lugging a 20-62 record into a game against Detroit, appear to have claimed their destiny as 's most consistently awful team.

    Name the NNL's equivalent--the team cofounded by Bill "Bojangles" Robinson that finished dead last for six straight seasons.

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

    MC Hammer

    In the late '30s, Buck Leonard saw today's hero, Dave Barnhill, play -- and urged the Homestead Grays to sign him. What reason did the Grays' brass give for choosing not to?

    Quick. Before I have to ask Cliff!

    Name the major rock bassist who was also a huge fan of Black baseball ... and who donated over 200 autographed NAL/NNL baseballs to the .
