message: I think it would be a good project for someone who is familiar with the Zephyrs to reorganize the first paragraph dealing with the current situation of the Zephyrs' affiliations.  "most recently affiliated with the Nationals" but now affiliated with the Mets.  A little confusing and poor choice of wording. Mikelj 22:45, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm putting the citation request back on the statement "The team was well-known in part for being the only baseball team with a "Z" on their caps"
"unneccessary request. It's easy to research that the NO Zephyrs are the only the team with a "Z" on their caps." is not a valid reason to remove the tag, in my opinion.  First of all, that isn't the question - the question is how do we know that they were well-known in part for the Z on their caps.  Second of all, the statement seems to require original research.  Rather than require a search to acculutlate date to substantiate a fact, that fact must already have been published.  --Chancemichaels 20:02, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

message: The Infobox had three problem areas which I have attempted to clear up.
*In the Name section, it listed "Kansas City Cowboys (1900–1903)" and "Kansas City Blues (1904–1954)." It appears that the "Cowboys" designation was an error, and that there never was such a team. (It should be noted that both League and Team names tend to be reused, and it is necessary to distinguish among the various incarnations of them.)
:The articles 
::Kansas City Cowboys (baseball)
::Kansas City Blues (American Association)
::American Association (20th century)
::Western League (defunct minor league)
::American League
:all tell a consistant story. The Zephyr franchise was a founding member of the 1902-1962 version of the American Association, and began competition as the "Kansas City Blues," having played the 1901 season in the reconstituted Western League under the same name. Although there were various 19th century "Kansas City Cowboys" teams that formed and folded, none of them had any relationship to the Zephyrs. In fact, the Infobox's 1900-1903 team appears to be totally mythical.
:Now while it is barely possible that all the other articles are wrong and the Infobox is correct, it should further be remembered that any such 1900 Cowboys team would have to have been fielded in direct competition with the previous iteration of the Blues, the team that would transfer to Washington, DC to play as the Washington Senators when the American League declared itself to be a Major League in 1901. This is such a far-fetched claim that I believe that it settles the matter.
:I have eliminated the "Kansas City Cowboys" from the Infobox, and extended the Kansas City Blues name back to 1901.
*The Minor League Affiliations section only began with the 1949 team. I added the previous affiliations back to 1901.
*The Infobox shows the Zephyrs to have been founded in 1900. Although the organization first fielded a team in 1901, I do not know the date of its incorporation. Clearly the impetus for the formation of the Zephyrs organization was Ban Johnson's transfer of the Kansas City team to Washington, DC for the 1901 season. The new franchise would have been formed either in late 1900 or early 1901. As I have no information on which is correct, I have left the Infobox as is. (FWIW and IMO, from a business POV, the earlier date actually makes more sense.)

thread_title:  Infobox 

message: Under Kansas City, article states: The most notable player for the franchise was future Baseball Hall of Fame member Phil Rizzuto, the League MVP and Sporting News Minor League Player of the Year in 1940.
I personally was under the impression that Mickey Mantle was a more notable player than Phil Rizzuto.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.136.146.25 (talk) 06:37, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

message: This section of this entry:
A large portion of the fanbase is apparently disgusted with the new name, as evidenced by the almost universal rejection of it on social media. Fans seem to be disappointed ...
This section seems to be a personal and biased opinion rather than information regarding the team.  I think it should be removed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.2.246.33 (talk) 16:55, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
