POV[edit]

Seems to be some POV in the article, particularly the "Profile" section. Turnstep 19:05, September 8, 2005 (UTC)

Dunkin Donuts[edit]

It says here that Bellhorn owns four dunkin donuts, i have never heard that, or can find any data on this online, does anyone have any idea on this? --Sopranosmob781 05:56, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

also please tell me where these dunkin donuts are, so that i may go there in the offseason and hopefully see bellhorn. 72.70.26.99 03:25, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I heard he just bought another (don't know if its new or just bought an existing one somewhere) which would make five for him anybody know anything about this? Zzz345zzZ

That's great. Find a reliable source or it's not going to remain in the article. Please note that "because a blog said so" is not reliable. ju66l3r 14:19, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's off the page, but if anyone was wondering, here's the answer from the man himself:

"False; who ever came up with that rumor has done a pretty good job because I've heard that quite a few times. But I wish I did (own them)," Bellhorn said. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.181.236.174 (talk) 15:10, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to remove this information again, as it has appeared in here. The only source for this information actually points right back to this Wikipedia page as its source. Until we can find something that doesn't quote Wikipedia or Boston Magazine (who has this Wikipedia page as their source) we shouldn't have it in here.

WP:TRIV violations[edit]

According to the policy of this website linked in the subject header, these statements need relevant sourcing and should be placed in the body of the article. If these statements can't be sourced, then they don't belong in the article. If they don't fit the information of the article in any way, then they don't belong in the article.

Bellhorn's younger brother, Todd, pitched in the New York Mets minor league system from 1998 - 2000. He is now a youth pastor in Florida.
His quiet demeanor, humble behavior, and scrappy play created a small but fiercely loyal fan-base for Bellhorn. Throughout Boston, people were once seen wearing "Who died and made you Mark Bellhorn?" shirts. There is also another once-popular shirt, "Don't blame me, I voted for Bellhorn."
In 2002, Bellhorn had a record-setting season for the Cubs: His 27 home runs was the most ever by a Cubs switch hitter, and he became the 1st player in Cubs history to hit a home run from all 4 infield positions.
In 2006, while playing for the San Diego Padres, Mark Bellhorn hit the longest home run in the history of Petco Park, off Mark Mulder.
In 1986, Bellhorn set a Florida State little league record for home runs in a sanctioned game when he hit 7 home runs (1 inside the park).

Thanks. ju66l3r 20:17, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are being a little inconsistent here targeting Bellhorn's page and trivia. If you look around Wikipedia a large percentage of articles have trivia sections, especially in shorter articles. I think you should either start a wide ranging adjustment of this across Wikipedia, or leave the Bellhorn page alone. I will work on finding sources for all of the info, but once again looking across wikipedia I would say that 95% off all the information found on the site is unsourced. Zzz345zzZ

Sorry, but "everyone else is doing it" is not a valid argument for violation of Wikipedia guidelines. I may eventually get to everyone else's trivia sections (and by the way, this isn't the first Trivia section that I've reaped either). I frequently add {{sources}} or {{fact}} to unsourced articles. So don't worry. This is only 0.001%...94.999% to go. Please source these statements and then put them into the text. The article will be stronger for it. ju66l3r 14:28, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
