The confusion comes from the fact that for many years, Stein's first name was unknown and at one point the 1890 Athletics stint was credited to Harry C. Stine - the minor leaguer. Some of the BR Bullpen pages still have outdated information like this.
William Stein's grandson reached out to us at the SABR Biographical Research Committee, and sent us the Stein photo, while also confirming his identity.
I'm very active with Committee and any changes we make are reflected on baseball-reference.com. So any information about major league players on baseball-reference is as accurate as it can be, though we still uncover new details etc on regular basis.
