I found this interesting to see the effort to make sure the stats are right. I remember years ago looking at Gentile's stats and seeing how he fell just short of the RBI lead to Maris.

Cool. Funny how different sources disagree still about some stats. Looks like the Elias bros are very stubborn about their official stats despite concrete evidence to the contrary in some instances.

Elias? Stubborn? Surely you can't be serious.

Diamond Jim got buried behind Gil Hodges in the Brooklyn/LA farm system, or he would have had a more substantial career. I lived in Severna Park , MD during his big years. He had about a four year run in Baltimore in which he was very popular with the fans. Unfortunately, he was largely washed up by age 31

Not unusual for a guy of Gentile's skills.
