Our 1894 HUgh Duffy card is listed as belonging to The Cleveland Spiders.
However, in 1894, Duffy played for the Boston BEaneaters (or Braves). He never even played for a Cleveland franchise in his entire career.

Can we fix this?

and while we are fixing Hugh, also fix his 1901 card........it should be property of the St. Louis BROWNS-db, not the ST.Louis Cardinals-db

Fixed. Thanks for the heads up. But was the all-caps necessary? :)

Hugh was very upset about it. He wanted no part of a Cleveland franchise associated with him.
I told him to back off the caps.........what can you do? The old man is 143 and kind of crotchety

Nearly spit my water on my computer screen...which prompted co-workers to look at me as though I was Regan MacNeil....

[quote:0abf168766]When I was a player you had to serve a long apprenticeship in the minors. Breaking in with a major league club was a tough job. Furthermore, the other players, the fellows who were in ahead of you, impressed it upon your mind at the start that you had a lot of things to learn. They don’t do it that way any more.[/quote:0abf168766]
Note that this is a quote from one hundred years ago.
