| Yeah, there are several problems here with the pre/post 1900 issue. You're using post-1900 for the wins and ERA records, but the runs scored record uses two guys from before 1900, one of which should be Tom Brown, not Tim Brown. Tim Brown caught a lot of balls for the Raiders, but he never scored 177 runs in a season. I was fooled by Mark Reynolds, not thinking about the same guy having both of the top two seasons. I'm not sure why Nap Lajoie's 1901 average is often missing in lists of records, even 20 years ago I remember always reading that Hornsby's .424 was the post-1900 record. Maybe Lajoie's mark was recalculated at some point, similar to Wilson getting that 191st RBI 70 years later? I also always thought Brown held the single season ERA mark, so I don't know why Leonard's 1914 season of 0.96 seemed to be forgotten. He did pitch 224 innings that year, so that shouldn't be the issue. |
