I have read anecdotes from many sources which say that Cap Anson was instrumental in barring black players from major league baseball. This topic is discussed in the biography of Moses Fleetwood Walker, but there should be more about it in the biography of Cap Anson.

The article incorrectly states that Major league baseball does not recognize stats from the National Association. However MLB.com lists his 7th all time in hits http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/history/milestones/index.jsp?feature=three_thousand_h which would have to include his NA stats.
- The NA is not officially recognized by MLB.com as a 'major' league. Most historians ignore that official designation though and hope that one day MLB changes their mind. It is curious that MLB.com includes the NA numbers though. Perhaps they are warming up to the idea of the NA being 'official'. Or perhaps the people who run the website made a mistake.

- Research by baseball historians has set his likely hit figure as 3012. (omitting 413 in NA, which is was a haphazard type of league, omitting the 60 walks originally counted as hits in 1887, and evaluating his disputed hits in some years. Figures like 3081, 2995, 2996, 3000-even, and 3418 are discredited figures with most responsible historians. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ellyabe (talk • contribs) 17:50, June 6, 2007.
[edit] Article Quality
I've been rating Hall of Fame bios, and this is the best article on a pre dead-ball player I've come across. With not too much work, I think this could pass a Good Article assessment. If any of the regular editors here decide to make a go at it, let me know. I'd be glad to help. --Djrobgordon 05:49, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
What the hell is a "glandular ailment"?!
