Picture with the President

I moved the picture of Fowler shaking hands with President Bush at the 2008 Summer Olympics into his Olympic infobox, then someone else moved it back. I'm not concerned enough to move it again, but I really think that is where it belongs and where it makes more sense.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 09:25, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I moved it back. It makes no sense to have the one and only picture we have of him and not have it in the infobox. A cropped version could be made of it, but until then, it should stay where it is. Jauerback^dude?/_dude. 00:49, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think the Olympic infobox needs a picture at all, it's more a continuation of the infobox. I guess we could figure out a way to link it to the bottom, then there wouldn't be this problem. —Borgarde^talk 03:47, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

2010 batting average

Is it really noteworthy that Fowler had the third-best BA among Rockies with 400+ AB in 2010? It so happens that only 3 Rockies players reached 400 AB, so Fowler could have hit .125 and had the third best BA among Rockies with 400+ AB. If you take the threshold down to 394 AB, Olivo would have a higher BA. If you take it down to 341 (admittedly, a stretch) then Spilborghs would also beat him out.

The fact is undeniably true ... but is it noteworthy?
