As the creator of this article and a longtime admirer of Hano's work, I greatly appreciate the effort expended in adding this content, but it just doesn't belong. Aside from the obvious point that two of the 4 examples cited in the section were simply "See above" references to material already covered (i.e. Mays' 1954 WS catch and the 1941 Mickey Owens muff), not to mention the fact that one of the remaining two was not even particularly historic (a regular season game in which Jackie Robinson happens to hit into a triple play), the mere fact that an event, no matter how historic, happened to be attended by a writer of note, whether in a professional capacity or not, does not make it relevant to—much less warrant its inclusion in—an encyclopedia article about the writer. That being said, the final example, Don Larsen's perfect game (complete with Hano's limerick-paved road thereto, and coupled with the Owens muff), was indeed the subject of a published Hano comment circa 2009; as such, I've added it to his Wikiquote article.
