[reporting on the NL meeting 12/4/1877 - 12/6/1877] Harry Wright, the great American scorer, was instructed to revise the scoring system, and he did so by throwing out total bases, and inserting instead a column headed “Times Reached First Base.” The rules of last year with this amendment were then adopted.
