Andrew- I think you meant your reply to be to me, not Leon. You might be right on the CS statistic but I think you are wrong on the strikeouts not being kept. The walks were kept accurately, why not strikeouts?
On the subject of Johnny "The Crab" Evers and Tinker not talking, from what I have read no one much liked Evers, not just Tinker. All acoounts I have seen show Tinker was otherwise a friendly and good teammate, he just hated Evers. As far as Evers being in the Hall of Fame, even a manic depressive deserves to be in the Hall when he posts Evers numbers, the fact he was regarded as probably the smartest ballplayer of his time, and the fact as player coach in 1914 he led the Miracle Boston Braves to the World Series title, probably one of, if not THE, greatest sports feat of all time.
