It's been 100 years to the day since...
Moonlight Graham had his one appearance in the Major Leagues.
To celebrate, I'm going to watch "Field of Dreams" again tonight .

Even after the cornfield appearance, he still did not get an official at bat.

It was kindof cheap and silly, but I liked Jim Caple's article about him on ESPN.com
SI

Indeed... anything related to Field of Dreams can't be bad.

So who is going to be the huge geek that figures out how many leap years there were in the last 100 years and correct this number? |

I'm going to guess that there were 25 leap years in the last 100 years, and I didn't even have to use my supergeek powers to figure that.

Yes it was.
Years divisible by 100 are not leap years unless also divisible by 400, I believe. But I know 2/29/2000 happened.
