ESPN.com apparently didn't get the memo about Black Leagues stats being MLB stats (not sure what's up with that) -- but if you zoom over to baseball-reference.com you'll see that the single-season batting average record belongs to 's very own Tetelo Vargas.

GIANTS TAKE THREE OF FOUR FROM BROWNS

Bob Romby got the win; Bill Rigney's solo homer proved the GWRBI. Ford Smith took the loss.

To what team did Bob Romby's Elite Giants lose the NNL Championship Series in 1948?

One guess.

By the way, if you've never heard of Red Barrett (I hadn't either, before I started ), you may be interested to learn that he is the author of what may well be the single most badass start in MLB history. Curious? Details here:

While there's a break in the action, I thought it appropriate to acknowledge, to @RuthODay, Oakland's full responsibility for what happened at the Coliseum last night.

Condolences.

team pitching stats. Brooklyn way out front on this one, suggesting a winning strategy from the Flatbush GM. (Brooklyn dealt Dixie Walker to the Indians for alleged spitballer Bill Byrd.)

BUCS TOP YANKS

NY gets a quality start from Morris, outhits Pirates 10-5, but can't connect the dots in any inning until the 9th, when a two-out rally delivered too little, too late. Willard Brown's 3 doubles go to waste.

R.T. Walker gets the W for Pittsburgh; Kiner homers.

YANKS STORM BACK, TAKE GAME 2 FROM PIRATES

Willard Brown (HOF) posted a jaw-dropping 5-6 day (3 2B, HR, 3R, 3 RBI) as the Yankees dominated. Starter Spud Chandler picked up his tenth win of the year. And hit a grand slam.

If it had been a fight, they'd've stopped it.

Answer to question: Willard Brown was 32 when he played for the St. Louis Browns in July of '47.

In later years, he appears to have fibbed about the year of his birth so as to suggest that his short stay in the AL was due to his age.

It wasn't. It was because humans don't perform well in environments like this:

FIELDS OUTDUELS PAGE

Pirates outscored 18-9 in this series, but they took the deciding game thanks to a superb performance from Wilmer Fields (CG, 8 Ks).

All came down to the last at-bat: McQuinn thrown out at the plate trying to score the tying run!

Wilmer Fields played for a lot of great Homestead Grays teams ... but he didn't play for the squad that many historians now argue was the greatest of all time. Bar none. And let's have no grumbling from the also-rans. (Talking to you, '27 Yankees.)

Which Grays team was that?
