[edit] Explanation of text-block moveThe recent series of edits by BillTunell concerning the racial integration of major league baseball in the United States are obviously good faith and the material is worthwhile, but the highly detailed content is not appropriate for this overview article on the general topic of baseball. We already have a sizable section on the history of U.S. baseball, but all of its content—which already includes coverage of integration—must remain in summary style in order to maintain a reasonable length and proper focus (please check out WP:Summary style, Bill). The massive addition also disrupts the established chronological organization and flow of the summary history section. The additional material Bill has provided is specifically relevant to and more appropriate for our well-established topical article on the History of baseball in the United States. As detailed discussion of the major leagues' racial integration already exists there, I've moved Bill's material to that article's Talk page for the moment, so what's new and/or better written can be incorporated without creating redundancies. Best, Dan.—DCGeist (talk) 20:56, 20 April 2009 (UTC) [edit] Newbery's Pocket-BookI've uploaded an image of the page on baseball from Newbery's Pocket-Book, in case it could be of use. See File:NewberyBaseball.jpg.

Although some of the information came from the same sources as this article, there were some different things. I think it might be worthwhile to translate some of it and merge it. NaySay (talk) 14:51, 21 June 2009 (UTC) One comical and oh-so-French sentence (in the first paragraph) reads: "Les racines européennes du jeu, longtemps niées par les autorités américaines afin de faire du baseball un sport typiquement américain, sont connues de longue date par les historiens du sport." (The European roots of the game, denied for a long time by the American authorities in order to make baseball a typically American sport, have been known for some time by historians of the sport.) !!!! Wow! Did the French ever meet a conspiracy theory they didn't like? However, some intense person must have added that; the rest of the article is well-written, informative and surprisingly enthusiastic. NaySay (talk) 14:55, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
Sounds like you'd fit in well in France. Go ManU. NaySay (talk) 16:03, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Baseball teams fans' message boards or forumsI'm new to baseball - watched first game this summer, and I wonder if they exist at all? I searched and searched with Google and other engines, but found only fan pages or blogs with little or no comments at all. No message boards or forums. There's some pathetic excuse for a board on mlb official site but there too few people who write. I find this strange for a sport which attracts such a big fanbase.Chudinho 21:45, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
[edit] StrikeI gather from the article that a "strike" specifically does not refer to a (legal) hit of the ball. Is that right? It seems such a counterintuitive use of language that I wonder if it could be emphasised/clarified more? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.152.243.242 (talk) 19:49, 10 September 2009 (UTC) [edit] Attendance records and the age of steroidsThe section "Attendance records and the age of steroids" is not really about attendance. This section has several paragraphs, and only one sentence in one paragraph even mentions attendance. Some reorganization and/or section title change would be helpful. 71.112.25.123 (talk) 19:41, 9 October 2009 (UTC)ATBS
[edit] La Soule"A French manuscript from 1344 contains an illustration of clerics playing a game, possibly la soule, with similarities to baseball..." This seems odd; the la soule article, along with every other reference to it I've seen, describe it as being a football-type game. Or is it just that the name la soule applied to a wide variety of sports? Grant | Talk 06:27, 8 November 2009 (UTC) [edit] Cricket in See Also and Related SportsCricket is a closest cousin to baseball and there is a very informative page that compares both the sports Comparison between cricket and baseball. This page has to be on this page as it is on the cricket's page. this will help people understand the comparison between both the games. Please keep these changes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Crazyeditor9 (talk • contribs) 03:50, 23 November 2009 (UTC) Both of those terms are already linked in the article. The See also section is for terms not otherwise linked in the main text.—DCGeist (talk) 05:01, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
