Talk:Minnie Miñoso

message: I recently heard a reporter state that Minoso doesn't like his nickname, "Minnie" as it was a girl's name. Any truth to this?

message: Minoso was selected to be a Major League "All-Star", "7 times" not 9 times. Was on AL Roster 7 times.
:No. From 1959-1962 there were 2 AS games. Minoso played in both in 1959 and 1960. Nine is correct.--Yankees10 22:45, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: A point of explanation: For the years 1959 to 1962, all players named to the first All-Star Game were held over for the second, with a handful of pitchers added to the roster for the second contest. It was impossible for a position player to be named to one game and not the other (except in cases of injury replacements), and there certainly was no notion of dropping someone from the team for the second game. So no one was actually selected more than once per year. MisfitToys (talk) 23:38, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: 7 time "All-Star" (9 AS games)

message: Need a separate article on the Golden Era selection process, or perhaps some detail at the HOF article. There is no need to go into intricate detail about the Golden Era selection process on the biographies of individual players. We really don't need to know how many Golden Era votes Jim Kaat got on Miñoso's article, for example. EricEnfermero HOWDY! 03:11, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I shortened it as you suggested. The election was important enough to show all 10 candidates in 2011 I think. Not all the candidates are former players. Someone had put Golden Era Veterans Committee (No such name) instead of Golden Era Committee at Wikipedia (article titles) and that should be corrected there whcih has a lot of the information you mention.

replies: text: I agree that the election is important, but in keeping with summary style, I just think almost all of that info would be better kept at the Golden Era article. I moved that article to reflect the name Golden Era Committee, which is what I found at almost all of the sources that discussed it. EricEnfermero HOWDY! 04:24, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

text: I also removed the 2011 election list and just mentioned Ron Santo. Thanks for changing Golden Era Veterans Committee to Golden Era Committee. YahwehSaves (talk) 04:40, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
