Talk:David Wells

message: I can't believe this lasted as long as it did on this page. My faith in Wikipedia is starting to ebb. Removed:
:"David Wells is the uncle (by marriage) of Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Vernon Wells."
While technically possible, I suppose, as somebody who watches 100+ Blue Jays games a season I would be shocked if this were true and I didn't know about it. Quite a juicy bit of trivia. Unfortunately, barring collaboration, I'm inclined to say it's a hoax. -- Matty j 05:34, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Disambiguation Page Needed

message: There is no need for a redirect here for Jonathan Wells' page. I've noticed that several other people have removed the link as well. There is simply no confusion between the two, as the only common bond between the two is their last name. Darwin's Bulldog 20:43, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Is there a definite confirmation of this yet? padres.mlb.com is still silent on the matter, other than the speculative article I posted a while ago. Js farrar 23:06, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Why elaborate about the pseudo-scientific nature of intelligent design within the confines of a ballplayer's biography?  Anyone unfamiliar with the term can click on it...I recommend removing the pseudo-science disclaimer.
Here was the orginal under David Wells:
"He is also an intelligent design advocate and denies the explanatory power and evidence of evolution, thus Wells’ opinions of evolutionary theory conflict the views of the vast majority of biologists as most scientists deem intelligent design as pseudoscience."
Ha ha.  This author becomes so irrational with his hate for any opposing theory of biological origins it even taints his ability to accurately compose an entry for a ball player.  And who thought wikipedia was a reliable source for anything?  --jorgekluney
David F. Wells might be a better place to discuss so-called "intelligent" design - I don't think there's any evidence that our man Boomer has ever offered an opinion either way! --AndrewHowse 14:44, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I dumped the whole section.. It simply isnt notable that he was speculating about steroid abuse... tons of other baseball commentators have done the same.. no news here at all.. shouldn't be included. Spanneraol (talk) 01:05, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: On Intelligent Design and Other Pseudo-sciences...

message: There should be a mention of David Wells wearing an old Yankees cap that Babe Ruth wore during a game.  The umpire made him remove after the first or second inning.  I don't know the date though, I think during his first stint with the Yanks. What a crafty character this David Wells is. 66.227.221.150 23:23, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Babe's old cap 

message: while there are other pitchers in the Hall who came back from lackluster starts to their careers (i.e. Sandy Koufax and Nolan Ryan), none of them took until their 30s to achieve baseball success as Wells did.
This isn't quite true. Hall of Famer Dazzy Vance never even won a game in the major leagues until he was 31 years old, and there are many other Hall of Fame pitchers and candidates who had their best seasons in their 30s. It's a common feature with left-handers. Jsc1973 22:53, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Halladay's recent no-hitter is not a perfect game (he walked one) and doesn't belong in this article's section on Well's and other Yankee perfect games no matter how artfully it is phrased. Write it up in an article on Halladay or an article about post season no-hitters.Tttom1 (talk) 05:31, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Halladay's no hitter, no perfect 

message: I'm going to change the wording of the following: "On December 11, 2004, Wells signed a two-year deal with the Boston Red Sox and took the uniform number 3, reminding many of another full-bodied, gregarious, left-handed Sox pitcher who wore the same number in the past, Babe Ruth."  As written, it implies that Ruth wore number 3 with the Red Sox, which he didn't.  (At that time, the Sox had no uniform numbers at all.)  Not to mention that the words "full-bodied" and "gregarious" do not - in my opinion - meet Wikipedia's NPOV guidelines.  A simple "in honor of Babe Ruth" would suffice.
