Jay, just so you don't mis-read my post. I have one of the SABR publications, and it's fantastic ("Nineteenth Century Stars") - I refer to it frequently when doing research.

The problem I have with SABR is that you frequently plug them, and that's fine, but when I asked a simple question, I couldn't get a straight answer out of you. I'm referring to the question about Amos Rusie's lifetime won/lost record. If you remember, I asked you which set of stats SABR agreed with, since you can find at least three different lifetime records for him when searching reputable sources. Surely SABR has some thoughts on this (i.e - they support a particular record), but I couldn't get an answer from you or your buddies. I'd really love to hear their thoughts - what was Rusie's career W/L record? Thanks.
