TRIVIA: Before Snell, last SFG no-no was rookie Chris Heston in 2015. Heston faced a Mets lineup of which only 2 have 2024 stats (one in MLB and one in Mexico). BOTH players came up with the Mets and played six years with them, then went to another MLB team before coming to the Giants. Who are they?

Connie Rector is a name that should be known. He was a Negro league pitcher who went 18-1 in 1929; that .9474 W-L% led all Major Leagues that year. And he kept going after turning 50. At 52, he led the 1944 NY Black Yankees with a 3.32 ERA (qualified pitchers), WHIP, and even OPS+ (168). Cool career

In WW2, thousands of Congolese soldiers in the Force Publique are said to have "served in Palestine." What was their mission there? What cities were they in? Did they use their weapons? Are there any photos of this? Thanks!

I've heard of the Cahokia people as an example of a Native American tribe that had already disintegrated by 1492. There must be other examples with fascinating stories - what were they?
