should the listed 1902 pirates, reds, cubs be 1903 instead - note AL listing and no cubs in 1902
No. 1903 NL is in League 5. The teams from the first decade of the 20th century are scattered among the different leagues, not always symmetrically.
Also, Juice doesn't always have the team nickname historically accurate (and it would have been a monumental accomplishment if he had). The Chicago club in this case is the Orphans, and they finished 2nd in the NL in fewest runs allowed in 1902.
