Thanks, Michael. It's amazing how many errors we find in the records of players who appeared in only one game. Makes you shudder to think of how many there are...
Sorry to bother you with this, but in 1891 Mickey Welch pitched 14 CGs, of which he won 5 and lost 9. The MLB.com, baseball-reference.com, and retrosheet.org...

I checked the ICI sheets on this issue. Unfortunately, it only clouded things more than they were. It would have been helpful if JP had mentioned the date of...
... Radbourn 1891 is 11-13 in the first edition Baseball Encyclopedia, so the handwritten note is incorporated. Is that generally true of the handnotes that...
