The Midwest League record book really needs updating

There are a few points in the Midwest League record book that haven't been updated in several years....For example, Paul O'Neill is still listed as an active Midwest League veteran.

Also, Dayton Dragon hitters have broken the Midwest League record for strikeouts that is listed twice and have not received "credit".

But, this one regards something a bit closer to home.

An old newspaper clipping was handed to me during the last home stand. It is proof that the recent 14 game losing streak by the Timber Rattlers is not the Appleton baseball record for consecutive losses. The fourth team with 15 consecutive losses in Midwest League history was the 1973 Appleton Foxes.

The below article is from the May 14, 1973 edition of The Post-Crescent. I'll scan it in when I get back:

Foxes halt record loss streak at 15

CLINTON, Iowa -- Woody Eppinette, with ninth inning relief help from Ron Slingerman, made a first-inning outburst stand up Sunday as Appleton beat Clinton, 4-2, to end its season-opening losing string at 15 games.

The Foxes exploded for four runs in the first inning as seven of the first eight men collected hits. The big blow of the inning was a 2-run triple by Joe Pomykala.

The 15-game losing streak set a club record and tied the league mark for consecutive losses.

Epinette toiled eight innings and....

the article continues below the box score from the Saturday game (loss #15 in a row) and that part is not on the copy that I have. But I would guess that goes a little something like this:

allowed two runs on eight hits with a walk and six strikeouts.

Slingerman allowed one hit in a scoreless ninth inning to help the Foxes end their losing skid and move their record to 1-15.

Lespier started the first inning rally with...

The article picks up here:

...a single to left. Nyls Nyman grounded a single between short and third and Bob Stolarick's line single to left scored the first run. After a pop out; Pomykala lashed his triple into left-center. Bill Bagwell scored Pomykala with a single to right.

Bagwell's hit brought on Jim Harris in relief of loser Bob Moran, now 1-1. Bagwell was thrown out stealing before George Enright and Johnny Johnson singled. Johnson was picked off first by catcher Emmanuel Toledo for the third out.

Clinton scored its first run in the second on Phil Mancosky's single, a fielder's choice and hits by Quinomes, Mark Wagner, and Toledo.

The Pilots added another run in the third on Jim Eschen's leadoff double and sacrifices by Bill Baldwin and Mancosky.

Not that I haven't made a mistake on this blog (or off this blog for that matter), but it begs the question...What other records are incorrect in the MWL Record Book?
