Write-up says Mace Brown set a record in 1937 by appearing in 50 games without a having a complete game. This is not true. Firpo Marberry in 1925 and Garland Braxton in 1927 had already reached this mark. Both Marberry and Braxton appeared in more games than Brown in their respective years. Brown was the first man to do it twice.
