1. John (You Can Call Me Grandma) Murphy Posted: July 11, 2005 at 12:08 AM (#1462733)BTW, I have always had an affection for him since my cyclist grandfather also was bestowed with Henrich's famous nickname while he was a professional during the thirties and forties: "Old Reliable."
I still don't see him as a top 30, but nice career.
And for Joe Start?
Yeah, I like him a little more for that, too. :-)
Huge error in Bill James' NHBA: career WS/162 should be 26.24, not 19.43. Henrich's career WS/162 is higher than Bill Terry's (26.17). Without WWII, Henrich's career likely would have been very similar in length to that of Terry. Terry has a higher known peak, but we'll never know what might have been.
I think it's advisable to ignore the WS/162 Games in the NHBJA and either find the numbers elsewhere or calulate them yourself. Too many errors there.
