Old Hoss, besides being the first known person photographed while flipping the bird, is also one of the victims of statistic revisionism. Like Cobb having 4189 hits instead of 4191, Hack Wilson having 191 RBI instead of 190, and Dutch Leonard having a 0.96 ERA instead of 1.01.

Old Hoss now officially has 59 wins in 1884 instead of 60.

Incidentally, there's a fabulous book about his season, "59 in '84". Highly recommended.
