The Phillies' Invisible Four-Hit Game

In the Phillies' 2014 media guide (and the 2013 guide and the 2012 guide ... ) and all of their 2014 game notes up to and including the ones for the April 27 game at Arizona (quoted here), Ed Delahanty is listed as having 2,207 hits, good for third place at the time on their all-time list. And we quote "Jimmy Rollins ... Needs 8 more hits to tie Hall of Famer Ed Delahanty for 3rd place (2,207)."

But Big Ed must have torched the Diamondbacks that Sunday, because in the Phillies' game notes of April 29 it read "Jimmy Rollins ... Needs 12 more hits to tie Hall of Famer Ed Delahanty for 3rd place (2,211)."

Listen, we know as much as anybody that baseball statistics are subjective, especially when you go back a couple of centuries. But I would think that since Rollins was closing in on him, if they were to going to change Delahanty's career hit total, they would have explained why somewhere.

We searched online (albeit briefly) for an explanation, but couldn't find one. Maybe we just missed it. (Maybe we got sidetracked perusing E Street Band setlists for the weekend.) If it's out there, please pass it along to us. But until then, I say to Ryne Sandberg, leave Delahanty in the No. 2 spot and see how he does.
