When discoveries like this are made, it's not just for the player I meantioned, but for all players involved in those games.

The discrepency seems to come from 3 games that were protested and not counted in the official stats that year. Since the protest was not upheld, they should have been counted in the final totals, but for whatever reason, the NL forgot to return them to the totals.

Is it rewriting history? Yes, but only to the extent that the history of the game is being correctly rewritten. If checks like these are not made, then vintage baseball becomes nothing more than simple mythology with the fan trying to figure out what is based on truth and what is based in fantasy (i.e. incorrect data/info).
