It says not to reproduce it without permission. But it doesn't say whose permission.

So maybe BD flipped the home and road teams. (Way back when, home teams could choose to bat first or second. Maybe Richmond decided to bat first. In the majors, it was not until 1950 that it became a rule that the home team batted last. No idea about the minors.)allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-43883997504223867552011-02-04T21:39:36.305-08:002011-02-04T21:39:36.305-08:00Was Richmond's opponent Newport News or Norfol...Was Richmond's opponent Newport News or Norfolk? My guess is BD got it wrong 23 years later, confusing the Tars with the Shipbuilders. And your dates and the date mentioned in TSN prove that TSN was right. I think.Jerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13448619048422750447noreply@blogger.com
