Historical Personal Note

When I was little, he came to our conutry club (was a member) and would on several occasions pitch to the kids hanging around the pool. This was always a big hit. His house abutted the golf course. WilliamKF 20:37, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Someone should review the "blind men come to the ballpark just to hear him pitch" quote. It is variously attributed to Pete Rose and Reggie Jackson in the article.

Note on Seaver as a hitter

The article states: "An excellent hitting pitcher, Seaver hit 35 home runs during his career." However, according to the very reliable Baseball Reference, which is listed in the "External links" section at the end of the article, Seaver only hit 12 home runs. By this measure, Seaver is not an excellent hitting pitcher, so I think this sentence should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.252.248.204 (talk) 19:39, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

Color

According to how the colors are in the Reggie Jackson article, why don't we make this a Red Sox?

Or, as I suggest, make that page Yankee colors. 67.87.184.150 18:33, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccurate statistic

"He received the highest-ever percentage of votes with..." From Wikipedia, Lou Gehrig received 100% of the vote and was an unanimous selection.

BTW, if some1 wants to attack the aforementioned W article, then I do not have a problem with it.

The article shows a blank for a 100%/unanimous selection. I do not think that is correct. If the vote was 100%, then they should put 100% in that columnt. But I am not getting involved with that. 66.234.33.7 (talk) 22:10, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Seaver is considered the greatest player in New York Mets history...."

In my opinion, this needs to have a source identified (i.e., "considered" based on what? Fan surveys, etc.?) Or, if the author is implying that this is popular opinion, perhaps it would be best to add an adverb like "widely" or "often" before "considered."
