minor edit

Nice article. I deleted the mention of the 2007 CLO Sapsuckers victory from the lead paragraph, as it's no longer the most recent & not fair to plug one victor without listing all of them. But someone could add a link to the WSB team writeups on the CLO site to the External Links list.

I also toned down the wording re cheating, as "cheating has never been an issue" can never be externally verified as a fact, so it's not an appropriate way of putting the concept in an encyclopedia entry.

We need refs. Is Pete Dunne's acct of that legendary 1st WSB in _Tales of a Low Rent Birder_? I don't own a copy to check; if somebody could verify which book that info comes from & add a ref citation, that'd be most appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gould363 (talk • contribs) 03:16, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
