John Valentine   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #292 of 715 |
John Gill Valentine is currently listed as having had a 2-10 W-L record with the 1883 Columbus AA team. 
 
However, I have him at 3-9 with wins on 5/3/83 v Louisville, 7/13/83 v St. Louis and then on 8/3/83 v Louisville in his last ML appearance.
 
Before any of us combs the entire Columbus season to learn who on the team's staff should be credited with one less win and who with one more loss, does anyone happen to know where the discrepancy lies?
 
Thanks.

I sent my last reply before reading this one. Paul is correct that the official records show one fewer win and start, but this will not help with the loss...

Retrosheet has a copy of the ICI film and I just checked Vallentine's record. The first thing to note is that the film has his last game as 7-31-1883 vs...
