John Trapp
Every comparison John Trapp leads among players since 1946-47: 1 claim in 1 family, the best first. A row leads its field now, or set a record that was later broken. Each links to its board.

A lead is an interval: the stretch of N where he is first, worded at one N inside it. "One of 4" is a tie for first. A record "when he got there" was first among the careers that had reached that point by then. Fields are careers that began in 1946-47 or later, or player-seasons where he played the window (started half the team’s games or averaged 15 minutes). The method is in the board's notes.
