Default Scanlan brothers

Hi Todd. I do agree with you that both Domino Disc variations are of Doc and not Frank.

According to Baseball Reference in December 1911 Doc was traded from the Brooklyn Dodgers to the Philadelphia Phillies for Eddie Stack. Although it looks like 1911 was Doc's last season and he never actually played for the Phillies.

The Baseball Encyclopedia 9th Edition 1993 doesn't show Doc's 1911 trade to the Phillies (see pics below).

I still think that the correct spelling is Scanlan though. At least according to MLB, Baseball Reference & Baseball Almanac it is.

I added a few additional websites below for viewing.
