[quote:9972ed427f="chris22hackett"]I was just looking at his card and he played in all 162 games in 1986. Yet he is an injury 1. All the other players I have seen that played in every game are an injury 0.
What is the rationale?[/quote:9972ed427f]
As goofy as it sounds, the Indians actually played 163 games that year, although only 162 games are registered in their final record. Partially-played games from rain delays, snowstorms, gnat infestations, etc. probably contributed to that one game missed by Carter.
I'd still use him. :D
