Satchel Correction
When it comes to the stats, the place to go is baseballreference.com. I was a little surprised to see them list Satchel Paige's stats in error. I had discovered a decades-old screwup in the late 1990s, and this lead to a change in Paige's official statistics for 1948. It seems as if baseballreference.com had been using an old database. In any case, a few minutes after I sent e-mail, Sean Foreman sent a reply noting that he would make the proper correction.
Baseball-Almanac.com has also updated their Satchel Paige page to reflect his correct stats.
