	I understand why players like Killebrew and Kingman are missing as they didn't play 50% of their games at any one position, but Thome played well over 50% of his games at 1B, and isn't included. Banks played just over 50% of this games at 1B, but is also missing. Dawson played just over 50% of his games at RF and isn't here. Either I'm not understanding what you mean by 50% of their games at one position or you've missed a bunch of players.

	Also missing: Canseco (more than 50% of games in RF); Ramirez (more than 50% in LF); Gonzalez (more than 50% in RF).

	Go to their player pages and look at the games played at each position. Maybe something is wrong using the tool.

	Am I missing something? Where's Wes Ferrell as pitcher? He hit 38 home runs as a pitcher.

	Here's the problem with Thome - he also played a bunch of games at 3B earlier in his career. He played way more at 1B than anything else, but since he played 3 "positions" none of them are over 50% Maybe make it so that it includes 1B AND DH instead of just DHs, or something like that?

	bojanthebest:	May 15th, 2011 at 19:38 GMT	1 point
	why is the pitcher only from 1961?

	amwoods13:	May 15th, 2011 at 20:36 GMT	1 point
	I think I figured out the problem...the player fielding stats do not count games played at DH or PH, so the total games listed in the fielding stats are less than the total games actually played.

	Strattosphere:	May 16th, 2011 at 00:34 GMT	1 point
	Why do you have Ruth listed as only 694? I know he hit some of his home runs as a pitcher, but you have everyone else listed as their total home runs even if they played more than one position
