The article incorrectly states that Major league baseball does not recognize stats from the National Association. However MLB.com lists his 7th all time in hits http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/history/milestones/index.jsp?feature=three_thousand_h which would have to include his NA stats.

• The NA is not officially recognized by MLB.com as a 'major' league. Most historians ignore that official designation though and hope that one day MLB changes their mind. It is curious that MLB.com includes the NA numbers though. Perhaps they are warming up to the idea of the NA being 'official'. Or perhaps the people who run the website made a mistake.

[edit] Article Quality

I've been rating Hall of Fame bios, and this is the best article on a pre dead-ball player I've come across. With not too much work, I think this could pass a Good Article assessment. If any of the regular editors here decide to make a go at it, let me know. I'd be glad to help. --Djrobgordon 05:49, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
