HUGH DUFFY CARD ERROR

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

[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.
