Loading Screen Hints that need fixed/updated
Hello! Went through the hints_english.txt and checked the accuracy of the ones that are facts. Some are outdated! I'm just going to list them and then give an explanation.
==Out of Date or Just Plain Wrong== "Frank Robinson was the first, and still the only, player to win a Most Valuable Player Award in both the American and National Leagues." --Partly out of date now. Shohei Ohtani won two MVPs with the Angels and has won two (so far!) with the Dodgers. Frank Robinson is still the first, you just need to remove "and still the only". --You could also add a hint that Gaylord Perry was the first player to win a Cy Young Award in both leagues "Who holds the career record for most unintentional walks? Rickey Henderson (2123)." --It looks like it should be 2129. "Four teams have won more than 110 games in a season, but only one of them went on to win the World Series. Which one? 1998 New York Yankees." --The 2022 Dodgers won 111 games, so it's now FIVE teams. (1998 Yankees are still the only one to win the World Series.) "Who is the only player to win a Gold Glove for four different teams? Bobby Shantz." --Greg Maddux has also won a Gold Glove with four different teams. (I'm pretty sure, at least. I'm assuming it's based on the team he finishes the season with.) "Did you know? Fred Chapman of the Philadelphia Athletics made his debut on July 22, 1887, at the age of 14." --SABR research has found that this was actually Frank Chapman, and he was 25 in 1887. --the record for youngest MLB player then would be Joe Nuxhall, who was 15 during his first appearance in 1944 "Who holds the record for most consecutive complete games? Jack Taylor (185)." --the current records give Taylor 187 consecutive complete games "Did you know that the New York Yankees have retired twenty (20) numbers -- which is more than any other Major League Baseball team from either league?" --The Yankees are up to 22 retired numbers now; and they haven't announced the retirement of CC Sabathia's number yet, which is probably going to happen soon "Who holds the record for lowest WHIP in a season? Pedro Martinez (0.737 in 2000)." --With many of the Negro Leagues officially recognized as Major Leagues, the official record is now George Walker's 0.7347 in 1940. "Jay Buhner, Jimmie Foxx, Nap Lajoie, Tony Lazzeri, and Miguel Tejeda are the only American League cycle hitters who capped off their cycle with a grand slam instead of a "mere" home run." --Jason Kubel and Bengie Molina have also accomplished this while playing in the AL --The list is kind of long and only includes the American League, which seems weird. If you want a REALLY special accomplishment, Leon Culberson is the only player to have an inside-the-park home run for his cycle. ==Unproven== "Which U.S. president played minor league baseball? Dwight D. Eisenhower." --Well... the evidence is weak and circumstantial. ==Not technically WRONG, but...== "Leon Culberson, Bob Fothergill, Charlie Gehringer, Tony Lazzeri, Jose Valentin, and Bob Watson each hit for the cycle in natural order -- meaning they had their single first, their double second, their triple third and their home run last." --All true. HOWEVER, this list is INCOMPLETE. It's only listing those who did it in the American League, which means Gary Matthews Jr. is missing. "Hank Aaron, Rod Carew, Rollie Fingers, Carlton Fisk, Reggie Jackson, Frank Robinson, Nolan Ryan, and Casey Stengel have each had their number retired by more than one major league team." --True. However, at least SEVEN other people have had their numbers retired by more than one major league team, so why only list these eight? ==More context would be nice== "The Cleveland Guardians had 455 consecutive sellouts at Jacobs Field from 1996-2000." --True, but it might be worth mentioning they retired the number 455 in honor of the fans for that. "Who was the first European-born manager to win the World Series? Bruce Bochy. (He was born in France.)" --He was also the first foreign-born manager to REACH the World Series (Padres 1998) The first foreign-born manager to WIN the World Series was Ozzie Guillen (White Sox 2005).
