City of birth?

Some sites on the net say he was born in Yakima, Washington ... some say Sunnyside, Washington. It's no different with his trading cards ... some say Sunnyside, others say Yakima.Amchow78 02:42, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm from Sunnyside and I've never heard anyone claim he was born there. I know for a positive certain fact he went to high school in Yakima. He has to have been born there. Tromboneguy0186 03:05, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Repetoire

What pitches did Todd Stottlemyre throw while he was with the Jays in the early 90s? I would greatly appreciate the repetoire as well as the velocities and (if possible) the pitch trajectory. -Dylan Bradbury 22:48, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And a year later... Per the Neyer/James Guide to Pitchers, Todd threw fastball, curve, slider, and change with varying speeds. The book doesn't have any info on velocity or break/trajectory. Liamdaly620 (talk) 01:52, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"between Stewart [...]" NEEDS "and [someone else]" -- ! --

This comment is based upon an issue that caught my attention, in ... the [currently] latest version of the article, the 17:48, 14 January 2019 version of the article.

The last sentence of the "Baseball_incidents" section there, currently says:

On February 20, 1994, Stottlemyre and Blue Jays teammate Dave Stewart were both arrested in Dunedin, Florida, for battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest after an argument arose between Stewart, who was accompanied by Stottlemyre, at a night club, reportedly over Stewart's refusal to pay a $3 cover fee.

As originally written, that sentence contained the words "and a night club" somewhere after "an argument arose between Stewart, [...]".

Note that this locution -- including the word "and" -- is the correct way to use the construct << "between [a] and [b]" >> in the English language.

The correctness of that sentence began to go downhill with this edit, in which "and a night club" was changed -- (by some well-meaning editor, with good intentions, I feel certain!) -- to "at a night club".

IMHO it should be changed back. The current version's wording -- << "between [a] [...]" >> without << "and [b]" >> is not the correct way to use that construct in English.

[Before I go change it, ... myself, if necessary ...] Are there any comments? --Mike Schwartz (talk) 17:42, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
