![]() | A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on April 17, 2018. |
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.
MLB does not recognize the National Association. MLB.com does not count Anson's NA statistics in his career totals, as is reflected on his stat page, as noted above. The article is incorrect in stating that MLB counts his NA statistics so I am changing it accordingly. Vidor ( talk) 00:29, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
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)
What the hell is a "glandular ailment"?!
The book 27 Men Out by Michael Coffey talks about the incident with Fleetwood Walker and Anson's refusal to play with black players, whom he dubbed "chocolate covered coons" (p. 200). I think this quote would put a finer point on the section referencing his racism and highlight the negative racial attitudes at a time not considered to be one of great racial tension (such as the Civil War or the 1960's). -- Hurricane ERIC - Class of '08: XVII Maius MMVIII 06:32, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Article says: "...and probably the first to tally over 3,000 career hits."
Written by somebody who doesn't understand how baseball stats are kept and cherished. Numerous sources confirm he was the first, and only, until Honus Wagnus and Nap Lajoie joined the club 17 years later. 74.104.189.176 ( talk) 12:57, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
