Ole Hoss got credit for one he didn't deserve. I liked it better when it was 60. And when Dutch Leonard's ERA was 1.01. And Hugh Duffy's average was .438. And Hack Wilson's RBI total was 190. And Ty Cobb's average was .367.

I *highly* recommend the book "59 in '84" about that season. Baseball history of the highest order.

Fun fact: Radbourn is the first person know to have been photographed while flipping the bird to the camera. And he did it at least twice.
