Elbie Fletcher '43
Posted: Wed May 22, 2024 6:42 pm
I was admiring the stats on Baseball Reference of Pirates' wartime 1B, Elbie Fletcher, who was a bit of a Ferris Fain-type. Fletcher led the NL 3 straight seasons in OBP.
I looked to see what if any representation there was of Fletcher in ATG9. They do have a card for him, but it is not one of his league-leading OBP seasons.
Then I noticed that there is a discrepancy between his stats for the 1943 season on his single ATG9 card (https://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/33 ... 292/469764) and his stats on BBRef.com. His card lists an OBP of .386, but BBRef.com has it as .395 (same as his SLG pct.). All his other stats are identical between the two sources.
Does Strat have it wrong? It's a bit of a shame that Fletcher isn't represented by one of his better seasons, but there seems no reason to cheat him (even if by accident).
Does anyone know of how this could be brought to Strat's attention and fixed? Does anyone know of any other cards where there is a similar discrepancy?
Thank you.
