I have fomatted citations, so they are clearer to understand. Also, I found one URL from Internet Archive. Nevertheless, some sources are inaccessible and may require purchase. All accessible sources verify the existence of this person's career, yet I don't see Latham in page 121 but in page 145 [1]. Maybe there must be any other page that consists of the start of Latham's coaching, but I don't know. Anyway, "with Kitty Bransfield and Otto Krueger for Del Howard" is not verified by fn 2, as I could not either name there. Some other parts need citations, as I could not see any other in fn 4. --George Ho (talk) 16:58, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the work on the citation. Latham isn't mentioned directly on p. 121, just that Seymour's actions led to the hiring of the coach who would be Latham. I added Seymour's SABR bio as a citation to more concretely link Latham to the Seymour-McCormick inciddent. The transaction is listed at the external link.[2] This article meets the DYK requirements for sourcing. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:07, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

I don't know; we are discussing a person who had a baseball career that had no television or internet in the past. Anyway, I'll leave it to someone else who is more experienced than I. I can help you find sources that explicitly verify the claims if I can. --George Ho (talk) 18:29, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
