john/z28jd Ted,last time there was a thread about Thompson in Feb. of this year you wrote the same exact thing about him and I pointed out that it was wrong. I don't know where you got that info about him having the 2nd highest home run total to Anson but its wrong,please update your records so you're not repeating bad info again.
Thompsons total of 20 was the 5th highest at that time.
Ned Williamson led the league with 27 in 1884,followed by Fred Pfeffer(25), Abner Dalrymple(22) and then Anson(21) who had the 4th highest total.
