Walks counting as hits happened for one season. Everybody immediately agreed that it was dumb.

You consider incomplete stats that don't add up and might include games against teams of accountants as true, valid, and of value. Well, that is your prerogative. I don't expect much from people that cut up baseball cards for "art" either.

The real tragedy is that there are people in charge that should actually know better that bow to this travesty of the game.
