| Thanks for the feedback, Kicking222. I tried to have the source (mlb.com) in there, but I forgot to add the "http://", so it didn't save with the rest of the quiz. Very curious discrepancies between the mlb.com stats and the baseball-reference stats...after a bit of comparing the two lists, forming hypotheses, and then testing those hypotheses against various players, it seems that MLB starts counting NL stats only in 1887 (though it includes AA stats from before that), and they don't include stats from the 1890 Players League. I don't know enough baseball history to know why MLB wouldn't count pre-1887 NL stats, but suffice to say that the multiplicity of early leagues makes for some complicated (and sometimes inconsistent) record-keeping! |
