Need Play Index help for Madduxes

This morning I made an article on Madduxes. Is there someone who has Play Index access who could run the season by season totals of these thrown and/or the complete list of pitchers to have thrown them? I would like to add a top 10 list and a season-by-season total of these to the article but lack access to the Play Index (or similar such database) to make it happen. If you have access and would like to send me the data, I would be happy to make the tables and otherwise Wikify it. Thanks and Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 14:41, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Is that a real thing? I've never heard of the term. Is it widely used enough to warrant an article? Spanneraol (talk) 13:30, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Spanneraol It is a real thing. I've found enough coverage to suggest GNG and it does seem to be regularly covered when a pitcher does it from what I can tell. I only included a couple sources because it's such a short article but I am confident it's notable at this point. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 13:35, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

I was able to get this data and so no longer need assistance. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 20:21, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

List of Major League Baseball progressive career hits leaders, change stats values Tris Speaker 1901-1960 section

Hello and good day. Go to above article and please make following changes to Tris Speakers values as indicated in table:

• 1923: Change 2795 to 2794
• 1924: Change 2962 to 2961
• 1925: Change 3129 to 3128
• 1926: Change 3293 to 3292
• 1927: Change 3464 to 3463
• 1928-29: Change 3515 to 3514
• 1930-32 to 1960: change 3515 to 3514 (12 levels)

Of course I would have done this myself, but when you click on edit 1901-1960 section, no text comes up and I don't know how to access that. All major sources (except MLB) list his career hit total at 3514, the extra hit in question was around 1912 or so, so there will be changes from 1923-29 and afterward. I changed his hit totals to 3514 for years 1961-2018. Thank you all for your time.2601:581:8000:21B0:304C:CD3D:3958:6A95 (talk) 12:08, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

Was done, figured out how to go to template, have a good day. Disregard request.2601:581:8000:21B0:304C:CD3D:3958:6A95 (talk) 03:46, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

MLB playoffs

On the MLB teams WC berths. Don't it supposed to be Wild Card berths with a capital C instead of a lowercase? It's got all the teams that way. I think it's supposed to be capital Sports Fan 1997 (talk) 00:57, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

Can I go on all the teams and edit the wording to capital C in Wild Card berths? Sports Fan 1997 (talk) 00:25, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Lower case is consistent with the title Major League Baseball wild card. Generally, we use lowercase for basic English terms, and only capitalize when the proper noun meaning differs.—Bagumba (talk) 05:01, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

About new article Baseball5

Hi WikiProject Baseball people. I'm a wicketball fan myself, so I'm not in much of position to fully appraise what is happening with this article. There does seem to be a lack of WP:SIGCOV of this baseball variant. Was something along the lines of this article that was redirected or stubbified? Would appreciate your thoughts about this. Pete "wicketball tragic" AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 10:15, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

Seems legit, with independent coverage by Baseball America [1], Sportsnet [2], Guyana Chronicle [3]. Could just redirect if someone wants to merge it somewhere because they feel it's too early to be a standalone.—Bagumba (talk) 10:56, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

I think it's a bit premature to have a standalone article, for a game formalized last year (though the first "pilot" championship was held in Havana in November 2017) Most of the coverage seems to be about the announcement. Until there is some significant adoption of the sport, I think it should be added as a section to something like Stickball which to me it seems to resemble the most. isaacl (talk) 22:43, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

CFD for minor league teams

Hello, would you mind coming to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2019 May 22#Binghamton Crickets and offering opinions about the proposed renaming? If you want background information, see WP:RDE#19th-century minor league baseball. Nyttend (talk) 23:40, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

Need input for merging Tal's Hill into Minute Maid Park

Tal's Hill is a former feature of Minute Maid Park that was removed in 2013. The Tal's Hill article was merged into the Minute Maid Park article in 2007, but then recreated by a user in 2017. The discussion for the merger is here: Talk:Minute_Maid_Park#New_Merger_Proposal 2600:1700:D6E0:65E0:8400:D781:3985:AB45 (talk) 12:34, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
