Bug #325	found in SEPTEMBER, 1978
URL:	/chronology/1978SEPTEMBER.stm
Fixed:	August 11, 2003
Reported by:	Glenn Rooth (eros59@msn.com)
Reported error:	Ok, this is about the 20th time I sent this error in, I know I'm not Scott Matthew, so I hope you acknowledge this error from me. This error is also wrong on the Duane Kuiper page. The part on the page that is wrong is where it says that Guidry threw his 9th shut-out of the year, a Yankee record, and just one short of the American League record for southpaws set by Boston lefty Babe Ruth in 1916. OK, it is NOT ONE SHORT of the AL record for southpaws, it tied Babe Ruth's record for Shutouts for lefties at 9. Ruth had 9 shutouts in 1916 not 10. It's plain and simple.
