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.

The Senators, last seen lugging a 20-62 record into a game against Detroit, appear to have claimed their destiny as #1947League’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.

That’s mighty impressive, but he did it backwards and set the world record. That’s basically impossible.
The New York Black Yankees went 243-462-19 over the course of their existence. The Seattle Mariners went 246-400 from 1977 to 1980.
Both teams were beloved tho.

@YakyuNightOwl with the correct answer and then some!
The Black Yankees usually struggled to match the level of play of the New York Cubans. But they were beloved, indeed.
Did not know that about Robinson!
What would you like to hear, sir?

Boy, was I hoping you’d say something like that. :-)
Yes!

Thanks for indulging me.

WOW!
Take that, Fred!
Let me just say … If you can watch that without feeling that man’s joy to be alive, you’ve got a SERIOUS problem with your reception.
And Fats!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THAT. INSTANT GOOD VIBES!
