	The Baseball Analysts: Clemens Rocketing Up the All-Time Charts
		Rusie played from 1889-1901, so the 1st third or so of his career was at the 50' distance.
		The extra 100 innings of pitching at a 2.52 ERA (in the context of a 3.98 league ERA) vs. 2.61 (in the context of a 4.73 league ERA) is worth quite a bit though and that is why their quantitative values are approximately the same.
		However, in their defense, the RSAA stat takes that into consideration because it is a measurement of runs saved vs. the league average.

		In his 1993 book about religion and sports, Notre Dame Odyssey, author Herb Juliano recounts how Sockalexis, an outfielder, traveled with the Notre Dame baseball team in 1897 to play an exhibition game against the professional New York Giants at the Polo Grounds.
		In his first at-bat, he faced Amos Rusie, "The Hoosier Thunderbolt," whose fastball was so harrowing it supposedly was responsible for the pitcher's mound being moved back from 50 feet from home plate to the still-regulation 60 feet, 6 inches.
		He stepped up and pounded Rusie's first pitch over the heads of the outfielders and raced around the bases for an inside-the-park home run.
