Mormons
Among the other mud-slinging going on the Republican campaign, they are saying that Mitt Romney gets high on LDS. d:) Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 13:19, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Josh Bunce
Ah, so he was an umpire! I saw a "Mr. Bunce" listed as ump in a few 1877 box scores from the New York Times, but I never saw a first name. Good research! Zagalejo^^^ 04:49, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
- Kudos for tracking down the box score/recap. I was looking for that. Zagalejo^^^ 18:12, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

The removal of the further reading section was suggested in the AfD discussion and was not vandalism. Rooot (talk) 21:05, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

There is an ongoing discussion of a proposal to merge WP:PROF into WP:BIO at Wikipedia talk: Notability (academics). Since you have commented in AfD discussions for articles about academics, you may want to participate in the discussion of this merge proposal. Regards, Nsk92 (talk) 12:24, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

We don't understand why our article is up for deletion. We have several links to web sites confirming our information. Please advise —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.104.165.61 (talk) 04:26, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- I've responded on the article's talk page. BRMo (talk) 23:16, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- Its a shame that an article that we put so much time into was deleted without any real discussion. Vaugue statements about "improving" the article were made with no substance for beginning Wikipedia users. There was work on trying to cite information and before you know it all of that research is gone! Its no wonder why so many new users to Wikipedia feel very intimated to contribute to the system!Down2000 (talk) 02:03, 2 May 2008 (UTC)Down2000
Excellent work on José Méndez

What can I say? I believe that José would be pleased. Here's to ya. -- Couillaud (talk) 05:14, 18 June 2008 (UTC) |
José Méndez as manager of Santa Clara 1923-24
I promised a long time ago I'd dig out the source for this. In the Baltimore Afro-American of February 8, 1924, page 14, there was a story titled "CHARLESTON CANNED BY MANAGER", with a sub-header that said "Mendez of Santa Clara Rages as Charleston Lets Two Hits Get By."
The article mentions that Oscar Charleston, who had recently been named manager of Harrisburg, had been "expelled" from a game the week before for attempting to spike an opposing second baseman, and had today (Feb. 2) been "canned by his own manager, Mendez, for indifferent playing after two hits had gone thru him in centrefield."
As I mentioned before, it was sometimes difficult to differentiate between General Manager and Field Manager, but I believe this is pretty clear that Mendez was running the Santa Clara team on the field.
If you wish, I can upload a PDF copy of the page with that particular article, just for reference.
-- Couillaud (talk) 14:38, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. I've added a reference to the article. I don't think it's necessary to upload a PDF copy of the page (unless someone questions the reference—I certainly trust that you've looked it up!) Thanks again! BRMo (talk) 23:01, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Baseball has a history unlike any other sport. It has been played in countless countries throughout the decades, and it will undoubtedly continue play for many more. On this eve, some the finest players the sport has to offer will take the field at the Yankee Stadium. Four popes spoke there, Pelé scored goals there, "The Greatest [football] Game Ever Played" was battled out there, John Philip Sousa lead a band there, George Costanza worked there; but what do all these events have in common? They fail to reach the level of greatness that the baseball that was played there did. In 1923, a man named Babe Ruth decided to build a new house, and over the years, that house was a home to some of the greatest baseball ever played. If I were to list out all of these great moments, it would be longer than the bill for the New Yankee Stadium. So I'll sum it up by saying that we can remember these great moments by adding them to this place we've gathered at for future generations to read about, to learn about, to dream about; but more importantly we can watch tonight and we can remember how baseball is unlike anything else that we will encounter in our lives. — Blackngold29 |

I changed the name b/c other users were adding semi-pro and otherwise amateur beer league teams to the category. I feel that the category should be reserved for pro teams only.JaMikePA (talk) 00:09, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
