OK, here's a big one. I'm surprised nobody picked this up, since it's been nine years since SABR dug the info up (not sure when it filtered over to Baseball Reference, but it is there as well), but Charley O'Leary (o'leach01) had his DoB moved back seven full years, so that it's now listed as 1875-10-15. Given the significance of this datum -- he's now officially the oldest MLB player to ever get a hit (aged fifty-eight in 1934) -- I'm surprised it hasn't been changed in the database yet.
