If I start having any doubts, I just look to the 1914 Detroit Tigers and their starting rotation. Duke "Iron Duke" Kenworthy is second in wins on a second place Tigers team. He's 11-6 with a 2.48 ERA. Yup those are just a couple ways I know I'm really playing historical.

Swacina never pitched, even in the minors. However, Kenworthy was a pitcher in the minors, before becoming a position player. If these two came from the MiLB database, Swacina doesn't make any sense, but Kenworthy might.
