Thank you for that, Yakyu. I almost felt like leaving, mid-game, but wanted to stay to see what happened with the t-shirt.
Normally I wouldn’t have an interest in a team from TN, but Dave Stewart has a role with the ownership group. He’s a solid guy, probably with the most experience of anyone across all levels of a baseball organization.

In 1946, Gentry Jessup was the pitcher of record in a 3-3 tie game between the Chicago American Giants and the Indianapolis Clowns. Within three innings, tell me: How many innings did he pitch?
One guess only.

Other-end-of-the-bell-curve strategy fails @RuthODay – not 1, sorry

That’s okay, Yusuf: there are far better hitters in the lineup behind me who are narrowing down your location.

May 12, 1946. Longest game ever played in the #NegroLeagues *: Gentry Jessup and Peanuts Davis EACH pitch 20 innings!
Box score of one of the most remarkable pitching duels in #majorleague history. American Giants & Clowns log a marathon 3-3 tie.
*Tie

The 20-inning pitcher’s duel between Gentry Jessup and Peanuts Davis is further proof-- as though any were needed-- that you and I only got half of America’s #baseball history growing up. The least interesting half.
Here’s the SABR article on that astonishing May 12, 1946 game:
