johnsbi01 was born in 1961 and died in 1942? According to (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lefty_Johnson) he was born in 1862.

This is corrected in the new version of this package which should be available on CRAN very soon. In the meantime then newest version can be loaded using dev_tools from this branch: https://github.com/cdalzell/Lahman/tree/release/6.0-0.

To be more specific about the change, it was updated to 9/28/1861, which matches what's listed in Baseball Reference: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/johnsbi01.shtml
