When it comes to 19th century games, researchers do their best to verify the game stats thru at least different papers; home team, visiting team and a neutral paper.

Also, there is ongoing research to verify the stats of all 19th century games. This is the reason Paul Hines is now credited as the first Triple Crown winner and not Hugh Duffy. Some people do selective research on a player, but the 19th Century Committee is very dedicated to trying to provide the most accurate stats for that era possible.
