RE: [SABR_Records] Re: Third Basemen, 300 or more HR
Since Mike Schmidt hit 548 career HRs, and
Sinin only returns a total of 515 for him here, it appears that he's accounted
somehow for the fact that he also played a little bit of 1b, 2b and ss (also,
presumably pinch hitting). I played with it a little and Sinin shows him with
0 HRs at 2b and ss and 33 at 1b.

Evidently, Sinins identifies players with fielding
positions, at least at the career level. That can only be
controversial. In real life, you need to think about what you mean --probably
in reference to real players such as Harmon Killebrew, Dick Allen, Tony
Perez, Joe Torre, and someone who played 40% third 30% left 30%
right-- *and then* use some database management ingenuity.
