Football is what, 12-16, that’s fine for them because that’s what everyone was/is playing. It’s hard to compare 39 to 154 when that was the standard. It is not even remotely close, which is the issue. The difficulties of travel in the 19th century reduced their schedules too but even then it was a lot more than 39 games, and the different leagues played similar seasons of length for the most part.

Fair enough. I can see how the fact that the stats are incomplete is problematic. Hopefully, they continue to find more box scores, etc. to make the statistics closer to what actually occurred.
