Possible improvements?

[edit]

Taking to heart the good-faith intentions of the proposed deletion, and being somewhat bewildered myself by this list, here are a couple of my thoughts off the top of my head (without a batting helmet):

  1. Is the 2008 MLB Home-Run Derby that notable, compared to (say) Lou Gehrig's farewell or a papal mass? Can the derby be merged with the All-Star game that follows?
  2. Would this be a little clearer if the World Series and pennant playoffs were in a separate section? If not, are all the Series equally significant?
  3. Should there be (in parallel with the Yankee Stadium (1923) article) a separate section for non-sports events?

¶ I agree in principle with everything you say ... but it might be difficult to say that "the home run derby isn't notable" ... when it has its own article. I wouldn't think there would be too much objection if both events were combined; something like:

July X-X: Major League Baseball All-Star Weekend. Josh Hamilton won the Home Run Derby, and the AL won the All-Star Game, Y-Z, with Joe Schmoo hitting a key home run. ..... or something like that.

As for Jayron's idea below ... I would endorse it. LonelyBeacon (talk) 15:36, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

¶ The best way to make the list better would clearly be to collate the events by type, say "Baseball events", "Other sporting events", and "Non-sporting events". Baseball events should be limited to World Series, All-Star Games, and major record-breaking or otherwise notable performances (Gehrig's farewell address, for example). And it would probably work best to just list the All Star Games and World Series by year together, rather than collating them by date. So it would work something like:

Baseball

[edit]
  • World Series: 19XX, 19XX, 19XX... 20XX, etc.
  • All Star Games: 19XX, 19XX, 19XX
  • In 1923, Babe Ruth consumed the world record number of hot dogs during a game versus the St. Louis Browns.
  • In 1988, Don Mattingly combed his mustache
  • Yadayadayada

Other Sports

[edit]
  • NFL Champions: 19XX, 19XX, 19XX
  • In 1945, the Heavyweight Championship fight between So-and-So, yadayada

Non-sporting events

[edit]
  • In 1977, a bunch of people showed up for no reason, and started milling about the field
  • yadayadayada

Of course, we can fiddle with the sections and ordering and stuff. But this seems like the most logical and easy to use system. It also allows us to note things like All-Star and World Series games without giving every one more treatment than it deserves... --Jayron32 08:26, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Incomplete

[edit]

I'm on a MLB ASG tear this morning, and I notice this page only mentions the 2008 ASG. The ASG was also held at this stadium in 1939, 1960 (#2), and 1977. If those aren't listed on this page, what else isn't that should be? – Muboshgu (talk) 17:37, 17 August l
