These percentile rankings are a score to indicate how Lou Finney ranks among all historic players for several skill categories. For example, a percentile of "85% Power" would indicate a player among the top 15% of players in raw batting power, and a percentile of "Speed 3%" would indicate a player that is among the slowest players in the history of the game. These percentiles are entirely based on career statistical accomplishments for players with over 500 games played or 500 innings pitched, so may not accurately reflect an intangible ability.

1936 Philadelphia Athletics vs Chicago White Sox - Radio Broadcast / On July 28, 1936, the Chicago White Sox hosted the Philadelphia Athletics at Comiskey Park. The game featured starting pitchers Bill Dietrich for the White Sox and Lynn Doyle for the Athletics. At this point in the season, the White Sox were striving to improve their standing in the American League, while the Athletics were struggling towards the bottom of the standings. Significant stories in the 1936 season included the Yankees' dominance with Lou Gehrig and the debut of rookie Joe DiMaggio, who were both making headlines.
The game started with the White Sox taking an early lead, scoring two runs in the first inning. The momentum continued as the White Sox bats came alive, with notable contributions from Mike Kreevich, Luke Appling, and Zeke Bonura. The fourth inning was particularly decisive, with Chicago scoring seven runs, effectively putting the game out of reach. Dietrich pitched a complete game, despite allowing six runs, as the Athletics managed to score in the later innings but could not close the gap.
The White Sox emerged victorious with a commanding 19-6 win over the Athletics. This game showcased the offensive firepower of the White Sox lineup, which collected 20 hits. Despite the loss, the Athletics had standout performances from George Puccinelli and Jimmy Dykes. As the season progressed, the White Sox continued to battle in the middle of the American League standings, while the Yankees eventually won the pennant and the World Series, solidifying their dominance in the 1936 season.
