RE: [SABR_Records] Cy Wright batting stance

Hi Ren - A few things here.

No attachment was received, and actually it is not good practice to send
file attachments via Yahoogroups because they are not distributed to readers
who read the messages in Digest Mode. The way to share files is to upload
them to the FILES area of the SABR_Records Yahoogroup website, and click the
box that sends a link to the group so subscribers are informed how to
download the file.

As for your assertion that Wright batted right-handed, this is a matter for
the Biographical Research Committee. Bats/Throws and Ht/Wt are like DOB/POB,
DOD/POD; criteria that are subject to a controlled process where the
supporting evidence is vetted, and changes to the record are published in
the bi-monthly committee newsletter, available for download here:

http://www.sabr.org/sabr.cfm?a=cms,c,239,5,0
(SABR.org Home >> Research >> Biographical Research >> Newsletters)

I'd be happy to upload your photo to the FILES area of this forum if you
send it to me offlist.

Rod Nelson

I have attached a newspapaer clipping photo of 1916 Ceylon "Cy" Wright.
I tseems that he is a RH hitter but SABR has him listed as a Lefty
hitter.
Is there anyway to correct this in our records?

David is correct, that the current encyclopedias show Cy Wright as a righty hitter. David would know, he's the vice-chair of the SABR Biographical Research...
