Okay, so Old Hoss Radbourn was a player in the 19th century, most notable for having 59 wins in 1884.

But, guess what? Baseball Reference has a Twitter feed for him listed. See?

It goes to the parody Old Hoss Radbourn Twitter account, which I covered last May.

So, what I’m wondering is: is this an intentional joke by B-Ref, or a just a result of some type of automated system?

The world may never know.
