He never pitched for the major league team though. It took BR a long time to finally put it on their site, but eventually it was put there.Johngyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18416011578421652629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448843072296729151.post-56351127508706365012010-10-29T20:36:32.763-05:002010-10-29T20:36:32.763-05:00Most people consider B-R to be exactly what it sta...Most people consider B-R to be exactly what it states... reference.<br /><br />It is good to see cards becoming a bigger presence on B-R and I love the fact that Andy is a HUGE part of that. If my beef was merely a hobby orientated issue, then I could shrug it off. Someone at B-R chose to put pictures of the players on each player page, which I absolutely applaud. When any piece of information is falsely presented on that site, I would hope that when pointed out, steps would be taken to correct the false information, especially when the correct information is essentially handed to them.<br /><br />Maybe the site's name should be changed to baseball-stats, if the only information that gets corrected is statistical based.Steve Giermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10291911419511893670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448843072296729151.post-17880623765071723882010-10-29T17:58:17.180-05:002010-10-29T17:58:17.180-05:00Very nice catch and kudos for your patience.

After talking with other collectors and having my own (very minor) exchange with one of the behind-the-scenes folks, it feels like stat and research folks keep hobbyists at arm's length.Matthew Gliddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00058637926401334906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448843072296729151.post-35080743398181099312010-10-29T12:08:47.261-05:002010-10-29T12:08:47.261-05:00You are a one of a kind fan Steve!!!

I spend hours a week on Baseball Ref and I never noticed that before, but I will say that I take what I find on BR to be FACT, and I think most people do. An error or incorrect info is very dangerous, regardless of when the player played or how often. Good luck clearing this up and thanks for your attention to details!

Most people don't have the luxury of knowing someone who contributes to the site to address these types of concerns.<br /><br />I understand that a picture correction for a middle infielder that only played in three seasons spread out over fourteen years isn't a top priority. I'm just hoping that the public forum of this will eventually get things done.Steve Giermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10291911419511893670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448843072296729151.post-53207183793335089572010-10-29T08:20:35.657-05:002010-10-29T08:20:35.657-05:00I have Andy's email if you need it.I have Andy's email if you need it.night owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673973790245316059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448843072296729151.post-44324614324031744242010-10-29T03:19:12.546-05:002010-10-29T03:19:12.546-05:00Excellent post, Steve.Excellent post, Steve.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448843072296729151.post-66769652916951919822010-10-29T02:31:13.541-05:002010-10-29T02:31:13.541-05:00it may take time to make the change - I have maile...it may take time to make the change - I have mailed corrections to retrosheet, that have been made - and I was even credited as a researcher - there is a BB card blogger who contributes frequently to the BR blog who may be helpful to email - Andy (http://www.blogger.com/profile/05644396308532248413).
