RE: [SABR_Records] Cy Wright battiing stance

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 Committee.

 

Currently, the most authoritative online source is Retrosheet.org

A quick check show that 9th Edition of MacMillan Baseball Encyclopedia (1994) did show Ceylon Wright as a lefty hitter.

I am not sure where you saw the BL indication but the Biographical Committee database lists him as BR.

hitter.
Is there anyway to correct this in our records?
