Edits

I've been editing the article "World Series" and will move on to other baseball-related articles. I haven't yet checked out how many baseball related articles Wikipedia has. Most likely cover the modern era of the sport rather than the classic era, but we'll see.

Some Baseball trivia drawn from Wikipedia articles:

In 1869 the Cincinnati Red Stockings defeated the Great Westerns by the eye-popping score of 45-9.

The same year, Niagara defeated Columbia by the even more staggering score of 209-10. The article says it was the highest-scoring baseball game in history, which is undoubtedly true.

The game used to have more crowd-pleasing runs than it does now.

The first truly professional baseball team was supposedly the Cincinnati Red Stockings, founded in 1866 and made professional in 1869. Alfred T. Goshorn was the first President of the ballclub. After a four game season that year, Cincinnati joined the National Association of Base Ball Players in 1867. Their games were held at the Union Cricket Club grounds. Ticket prices were set at "ten cents for home matches and twenty five cents for foreign matches. Ladies free."

The name derived from the team's characteristic long red socks worn over the baggy trousers typical of baseball uniforms in that era.

The lists of edits at "World Series" shows that some helpful person restored my version after someone else edited it.

Userboxes

This is the beginning of the userbox thing which most ppl here seem to have. This one was initially borrowed from ArglebargleIV's page but has now grown far beyond that template.

These userboxes apparently are meant as a shorthand method for telling people about yourself without having to actually say much. A good policy in my opinion. Best thing since sliced bread.

They actually have userboxes for sliced bread, by the way. Or at least for editors who like bread and other cereals. They also have boxes for editors who like cold breakfast cereal. Cold pizza. Cold iced tea....
