Birthplace vs. "Hometown"
[edit]It should be noted that, in Talbot County, just about everybody is born in Easton, Maryland, since it is the only city with a birth-capable hospital. Baines' legal residence was in Saint Michaels, Maryland, listed as his "home town." This comes from personal knowledge, as I went to high school with Baines' younger brother, just missing Harold by a year. (I, on the other hand, lived my Maryland life in Wittman, Maryland, though, again, I was technically born in Easton.) Since none of that meets Wikipedia's "verifiability criteria," I leave it up to an editor whose edits don't get examined for such silliness to add the information with approved references. --Joe Sewell (talk) 22:10, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Interim manager
[edit]According to his White Sox bio, Baines served as "interim manager" for four games in 2004 while Guillén was serving out a couple of suspensions. Whether this is considered to be "official" managerial duties worthy of being mentioned in the infobox is probably something which can be sorted out one way or the other through discussion; however, if it's not, then perhaps the lead should be tweaked to reflect that he was only serving as interim manager.
