I appreciate your post and hope that information helps others realize why those stats should be combined. You had made it clear that you had been reading articles on the topic and that too is the best way to inform yourself. My Google reference was addressing something else all together. From your post it gave the appearance to me that even after reading those articles you still had questions remaining....
Curious .... When did the MLB come into being? What was before it? Whose in the MLB records ( before this recent addition/amendment?) ... And were those leagues combined or separate?
Hmmmm.
If I was mistaken, my apologies. But this is what my Google suggestion was referring to.
