Kevin CummingsI just did a search for the name "Weyhing" and it yielded just 5 hits all of which were in 1886 (see below). Gus Weyhing was a starting pitcher who appeared in almost 550 games for several major league teams from 1887 through 1901.
Wouldn't you think there would be more hits for him than 5 and wouldn't they be in the years he was actually in the majors?
