{{divbox|blue|3=<!-- Template:Twocopies -->
Two copies of this page have been created, in draft space and in article space. It is not necessary to create two copies of the same page, and it annoys the reviewers. This is sometimes done in order to bypass Articles for Creation review. However, if a submitter is ready to have the article in article space, it can be moved ↗ into article space, rather than creating a copy. It is common for a page that has been duplicated in draft space and in article space to be nominated for deletion ↗ or proposed for deletion ↗.

If the article is kept, this draft should be redirected to the article. If the article is deleted, this draft may be kept for future improvement.

<!-- Template:Draftintoredir -->
This draft is either essentially the same as the article with the same name, or a subset of the article with the same name. The draft will be replaced by a redirect from draft space to the article.}} Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit ''after they have been resolved''.

MLB Hits Leaders (Players with 2,000 Hits or More



Hey Bud. 2,000 hits means 2,000 hits. Please stop deleting rows. Thanks. Banueloschris (talk) 04:19, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

:Hey Bud, I noticed on the all time Games Started list, you inflated Kershaw's starts by 3 games. There is a difference between games pitched and games started. You can tell because when you look at career stats, games pitched will be labeled as a G and games started will be labeled as GS. I had to clean up your error. Just so you know. Please stop inflating stats. Thanks. Banueloschris (talk) 01:09, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

Managerial win list


Thanks for updating the managerial list. However, there were a few small fixes I had to clean up just now: the date in the header and the syntax for Bud Black catching Tom Kelly. It may be easier if you let me update the page each day so we don't have these syntax mop ups every few days when we cross each other's edits. Thanks!

MLB updates


Howdy. Just some friendly advice. When you update during a MLB playoff game. It's best not to use words like "...now" or other such present-time words. It reads odd, as the game is ongoing. GoodDay (talk) 02:51, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

Career batting averages


Hi, I saw you reverted the large deletion made by an anonymous editor at List of Major League Baseball career batting average leaders ↗. While I agree that the changes that editor made were not appropriate, there appears to be a sourcing issue with the current content, as neither Baseball Reference (here ↗) nor Baseball Almanac (here ↗) recognize Josh Gibson ↗ as the all-time leader in batting average. I believe it's because he falls short of the 3000 AB minimum used by Baseball Reference, and he falls short of the 1000 Games Played minimum used by Baseball Almanac. I don't see a source for the criteria specified in the Wikipedia list: "For Negro League players, the minimum is set at 1,800 at-bats, or 5,000 at-bats combining both Negro League and AL/NL appearances." Maybe there is one... if so it should be added to the article, else there is potential for an objection on the grounds of WP:OR ↗. The cited report by Anthony Castrovince here ↗ stated that Gibson "is now MLB’s all-time leader in batting average, slugging percentage and OPS and holds the all-time single-season records in each of those categories" but the lack of a reliably-sourced list cited by the article that actually shows Gibson atop the career batting average list is a concern. I'm happy to dig further to see what sourcing may be available, but I also wanted to reach out to you in case you might have already looked at this. Dmoore5556 (talk) 20:40, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

Wikilinks in tables


Hi - the general convention in tables is only to wikilink the first occurrence of a term when the table is non-sortable. In sortable tables, wikilinks are repeated (such as to home run ↗) as the "first" occurrence of term will change, depending on how the table gets sorted.

I'd rather not have to spend time cobbling together diffs to take you to ANI, so I'm going to ask you one last time to refrain from making edits like these (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ke%27Bryan_Hayes&diff=prev&oldid=1297388860 ↗, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bryan_Reynolds_(baseball)&diff=prev&oldid=1297388141 ↗, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=James_McCann_(baseball)&diff=prev&oldid=1297387391 ↗) before the discussion at WT:MLB ↗ has been resolved. Your edits are especially problematic given that nobody in that discussion besides you is in favor of the edits that you are making, so you are editing ''against'' an emerging consensus. In fact, as the discussion has progressed, several editors have supported raising the minimum much higher than either of us would like. As I said above, I would rather not do the paperwork required to take you to a noticeboard, but that will be the next step if you continue.

The NYY 1st year was 1901 as the Baltimore Orioles



I do not understand why You have the NYY 1st year as 1903, when this team started as the Baltimore Orioles in 1901- relocated to NYC becoming the Highlanders in 1903. The current Baltimore Orioles, started in 1901 as the Milwaukee Brewers prior to relocating in 1902 to become the St.Louis Browns.
