Historians and statisticians probably re-examined old games over the years and adjusted his home run total similar to Ty Cobb and his hits. I remember growing up in the 70's and 80's that Ty Cobb had 4,191 hits. That's what my baseball cards said and that's what I always knew. I was like Rainman quoting stats as a kid. Then, later over the years, it was found that two of hits were double counted in a game (or something like that) so they adjusted his hit total to 4,189. It was hard to reprogram my brain. Ha.
