Talk:Professional baseball

message: I see no reason for List of major baseball leagues to exist other than the inherently POV claim that professional leagues in other countries are in some way on the same level as MLB.  The information contained there would be a very useful addition to Professional baseball (which is hardly so long that a side page needs to be created), and I am proposing that the former be merged into this page.  --BlueMoonlet 02:22, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Propose merge

message: The article leader mentions "farm teams". As a mere Brit, completely unfamiliar with baseball, the only analogue I can think of is a "college team" in basketball or (American) football. These are teams from a college, so presumably a "farm team" in baseball is a team from a farm. I doubt this is the case, so could someone maybe expand on this (or Wikilink if appropriate), so that I no longer have this image of a large bunch of Young Farmers milling about on the baseball court, or pitch, or track, or whatever it is, with associated farm animals?  Thanks! Tonywalton Talk 00:11, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: A "farm team" is a minor league team with a contractual relationship to a major league team to develop young players (or host rehabilitation for older ones). The term is an analogy of the raising of produce on farms before it is delivered to market. --Dystopos (talk) 05:53, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The Farm team article should also be of help. I've also added a link to that article in this one. Farm teams in baseball fill a similar role to the college teams in basketball and American football, though the systems are totally different. - BilCat (talk) 06:17, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

message: This article has good sources, but there is virtually no in-line citation or parenthetical referencing linking most of the journal works to their associated content in the body of the article.  
I propose that all the journal works should have parenthetical referencing within the body of the article, as this would be expected of any scholarly or encyclopedic work.  Elsewise, I would think it logical to institute a unified referencing system by using numbered in-line citations to refer to the journal works.

However, the following web page, http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/team.cgi?id=31871, has Lefty O'Doul listed as Manager of the San Francisco Seals in the year 1935. This is collaborated by people who attended Seals games at the time.--G Sanguinetti (talk) 09:19, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: This is probably too twisted, tangential, and trivial to mention, but after an art thief stole a Picasso from the Weinstein Gallery next door, the owners of Lefty O'Doul's restaurant posted a surveillance camera still of the thief walking in front of their window. The picture was circulated all over the world and may have helped police find the thief the next day in Napa. The cameras were installed following an incident a few years ago in which thieves stole the arm of the O'Doul statue / mannequin from the restaurant and took it all over the world snapping photos and sending ransom demands (a bit like the UK garden gnome pranks). The arm was eventually returned (sources available on request). Per WP:PRESERVE I'm adding this here for posterity, though I'm not sure how it could fit in the article.  - Wikidemon (talk) 21:31, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure how this would tie in to Lefty O'Doul the player. If there was a Wiki page about the restaurant, or if Lefty was still alive and he was the one who installed the camera, obviously it would be a germaine topic, but in this case it would seem to be pretty far removed. Ckruschke (talk) 16:57, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It's funny though, part of the peculiar chain of events he set off.  I don't think the restaurant is notable in its own right.  If it weren't for the fact that Lefty O'Doul started it, it would be just another inner city hoffbrau / sports bar / tourist piano sing-a-long.  As it is, the restaurant does make the news a lot, even national news as in this case.  But it just wouldn't feel right to start covering this kind of thing, I guess we'll leave it to WP:NOT#NEWS.  - Wikidemon (talk) 17:59, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Don Hoak

message: Don Hoak ruined Harvey Haddix's perfect game in the 12th inning, and yet that isn't in his Wiki? Here is straight from the Wiki for "Perfect game":
:"On May 26, 1959, Harvey Haddix of the Pittsburgh Pirates pitched what is often referred to as the greatest game in baseball history.[55] Haddix carried a perfect game through an unprecedented 12 innings against the Milwaukee Braves, only to have it ruined when an error by third baseman Don Hoak allowed Felix Mantilla, the leadoff batter in the bottom of the 13th inning, to reach base."
Don Hoak should absolutely have his error included. If no regular Wikipedian performs the edit by May 26, 2012 (the day & month it happened) then I will perform the edit.

Talk:Laser Clay Shooting System

message: I'm currently working on a rebuild of the article, which is going to include more extensive information on how the system worked as well as a fairly comprehensive history of the device; the information is coming from a book on Nintendo's history, which I bought not too long ago. I am also going to be removing the references to what seems to be mostly fansites, as much of the information I am seeing is coming from my book, which would be a bit more reliable.
However, I plan to remove the "Disambiguation" section, as the article needs to focus on the Laser Clay Shooting System in general and not the sport itself (there's no context there). Also, I am going to remove the "Trivia" section as many of the more reliable sources contradict what is apparently said in WarioWare: Smooth Moves that the system was made in 1977 (when it was in fact 1973). Finally, I am going to remove the references to Duck Hunt, as, from what I have researched so far, Duck Hunt was not a part of the Laser Clay Shooting System or "Mini Laser Clay", but instead it was part of the "Nintendo Beam Gun Series" (see Wired source), which was a separate project for home use (unless we should include that project in this article also, but I feel it might be better if we had two separate articles on that).
Hopefully, I will have it done by the end of the weekend and that it will be much improved from the current version. –MuZemike 21:08, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
