Background: Veteran major league catcher (Cleveland Naps, Phillies), "Bert" Adams was actually known as Jack Adams throughout his entire career. This is shown in the 1910 clipping below (
Cleveland Plain Dealer; Aug 14, 1910; pg. 14), as well as many other articles easily found through google news (

Not sure why BBref went with "Bert" Adams. In fact, I couldn't find one contemporary source that referred to him as Bert. In any case, the person who created the record for Jack Adams (adams-001jac) clearly didn't know this.
