Deletion of Robert Brown (baseball)

Comment: Per  and /N. The argument that we don't know if he batted left or right doesn't stand-up. Numerous players from the 19th century have "Unknown" as their batting and/or throwing label

Comment: Whether it's fair or not,  has always conferred inherent notability on persons who have competed at the "fully professional level" of a sport, and the definition is then elaborated upon based upon which sport it is.  In the case of baseball, the guidelines are /N, which exclude minor league players from inherent notability, but confer it upon people who played in leagues that historically have been considered to be "major".  Although Robert Brown played only two games in the National Association, the NA was the major league in 1874.  The National League didn't get its start until 1876, and the American League not until 1901
