The person who hosts the Baseball Reference site (nice guy and I am not bad mouthing him) is one of the people that was told by me. The other sites you refer to all use the same information from that site which is wrong anyways because I have NEVER scanned the article or released all the information. I mentioned to one guy that he once threw a perfect game. This then evolved into him throwing Perfect Games (plural), and then into him throwing one in the PCL. This is not the case, it was a completely different league. When I found the information I spent a year researching him and found that NOBODY knew who he was, including the man who spent years researching his book, "Mormons in the Major Leagues" until I made the mistake of letting a few people know before the article was finished.

Once again, I am not rying to be a jerk and I wanted everyone to know this information, but this is exactly why I wanted to keep it secret for a while and publish an article. Now he is not being given the credit he is due and all of the information out there is heresay from me and as such is incorrect. He deserved to have a formally written article to honor his acheivements and not an incorrect blurb on a baseball website as his lasting memory.
