Both the National League and the American League had a standout player named George Burns in 1919. The two have remarkably similar career stats. George J. Burns of the Giants... was the better of the two at coaxing walks, stealing bases, and scoring runs. He racked up 82 bases-on-balls, 40 swipes, and 86 runs, all tops in the National League in 1919. He was, in fact, the best in the National League in all three departments for almost a full decade.
