(Dougherty played only in a September 22 game in Milwaukee that was stopped by rain in the fifth inning; although the game was called before it became a regulation game, the teams agreed to count it as a win for Minneapolis, which was leading 3-2 at the time it was called. All records from the game, including Dougherty’s appearance with Minneapolis, are official.)
