It's probably a ' Mechanical' error, the two names are probably side by side in the computer, Data entry just clicked the wrong one.
Just like the honus/heinie Wagner t206 card

Malden and Malone COULD be next to each other alphabetically, although Candy Maldonado might complain.
Heinie & Honus actually are next to each other on the Retrosheet list of all time baseball players, and I'm too lazy to think of non-baseball Wagner's who might sneak in between them with first names that start with "Hi".
But, it's nice to know that they don't pay any more attention to Wagner t206 cards than they do to cancelled checks.
You can help them to make excuses if you choose, I prefer to laugh at their "expertise", and enjoy the fact that "data entry" has the final word on identity.
