On the subject of incorrect standings, Statscrew.com incorrectly lists the 1901 Eastern League final standings. Statscrew's final standings match those printed in the 9/23/1901 Providence Journal (and possibly other papers). However, those standings inadvertently swapped the W/L totals for Buffalo and Brockton. (Standings in Providence Journal in the days prior to the end of the season make this error pretty easy to detect & prove.)
In addition, although Statscrew correctly notes (below the standings) that the Brockton franchise has relocated from Syracuse on 7/25/19012 (and that Hartford disbanded on 9/10/1901), it does not include that the Brockton team also disbanded on or about 9/14/1901 (their final games were played on this date; not sure when they officially ceased ops). The final standings in the paper (not StatsCrew), however, do in fact indicate - via asterisk & note - that both Hartford and Brockton were disbanded.
While baseball-reference.com has been pretty responsive to corrections (both in terms of replying and correcting errors), I've found that Statscrew.com is not... at all.
