Has anyone noticed any errors or omissions in the Sporting News Complete Baseball Record Book? I usually write down rare occurrences when they happen and then look in the book to see if they are listed. I also write down some record that I think they should include. Does anyone have any corrections that they can post, to make it a little bit more accurate?
Here are the ones I have found that are omissions, or that I think should be included. I only have limited info. for one or two of them. Also, not all of them I can prove to be records, since I can't look back very far.
