Thanks, Mr. MaGoo

The lifetime batting average isn't calculated correctly (far above the Mondoza line).

Makes we wonder how many other random numerical errors may be out there... And how many stat lines I may have memorized incorrectly as a kid

Oh No! (i.e. Mr. Bill) That Slugging Percentage from 1961 wasn't Orlando Cepeda after all? Time for a re-rack!

As I got older, I thought the Random part or the Access part of my Memory would be the problem, but now you are saying it's the memory itself? Ugh!

Let's come up with something to cover this...shall we call it 'Mendoza-ish'?

hitting 200 should really be called the Uecker line because his career average was exactly 200. This would also be a lot more fun because Ueck kicks ass.

Honestly as a kid (after many hours purusing the Total Baseball encyclopedia) my head almost exploded after it was determined Cobb's lifetime average was .366 not .367.. And that Hack Wilson actually drove in 191 as opposed to 190. Those damn revisionists

oh, crap, Raymond. That's like my worst nightmare.

When I was a kid, I had the lifetime AVG, home run and RBI total for most of the Hall of Famers memorized. And I got my stats from Topps baseball cards, for the most part.
