Back when I worked with computer software, I once became determined that I was going to solve a long-running, intermittent, frustrating problem.
I went into the company's office on a Saturday morning, vowing that I would stay until I had found the cause and developed a solution.
To my astonishment, it took barely more than half an hour.
Something similar happened recently in my historical research involving the Cubs.
..........
96, NOT 97
In figuring out the Cubs who had hit the most at each age, I checked Cap Anson's Home Run Log at baseball-reference.com, to get the dates on which he hit his homers at ages 42-45.
