Assuming the nomination below for Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award passes, this list will be the final piece in a now 4-month project of WP:MLB to create a featured topic for MLB Awards. The list has been touched up by several experienced editors, and I think this last piece is ready! Staxringold talkcontribs 03:46, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Added note: KV5 just reminded me, Scorpion0422 deserves major credit on this list as well! He really put a lot of work in before I finished this baby up. I'll leave a note on his talk page, but he deserves some of this FL credit regardless.
- Also added note: This project has actually been ongoing since March 2009 :-p. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 13:52, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah, but little did you know what you were starting. :) Staxringold talkcontribs 15:30, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, I did; this was an unspoken goal at the beginning. I just wasn't counting on so much valuable help. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 16:56, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is one of those lists that I started working on, but never got around to finishing it off. Why were the references from the MLB website replaced? I know third party sources are usually considered better than official sources, but I thought that in this case, it was acceptable. I can't say that I like the colour coding (though it has since been removed). Is it worth mentioning that the Blue Jays are the only team from outside the States to appear in/win a World Series? Should there be some mention of the pre-Official World Series champions? -- Scorpion0422 19:06, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I replaced the MLB references because they had far less information about the series', and MLB.com had a couple different formats for the links which left me worried that they would migrate and kill off some of the links. I can add the Blue Jays note, that's a solid point. As for pre-WS champs, I dunno. There is a disambig to them at the top. Staxringold talkcontribs 19:11, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support – Excellent job with a list I've been hoping would come here for a while (please note that I did add a reference, in case the closers consider me an involved party at this point). Giants2008 (27 and counting) 22:16, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

*Comment TRM, sorry, but "List of World Series baseball champions" sounds very awkward. Other than the facts that the World Series is the original World Series and the main article is World Series, rendering "baseball" superfluous, the title doesn't even make sense grammatically. You wouldn't say List of Super Bowl football champions or List of Stanley Cup hockey champions. "World Series" is incorrectly being used as an adjective when it's not one.

As I said, no worries. It just seemed odd to me that the hatnote did include baseball and this didn't. I guess I'm seriously North American-outvoted here! Move along, nothing more to see. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:28, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support Nice job! It seems everything has already been taken care of. Reywas92Talk 00:29, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Support Pretty solid job, I can't find anything to pick out of it. Afro (Not a Talk Page) - Afkatk 07:23, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment In the appearances by team column, why is the Win % column right aligned when everything else is center aligned? Dabomb87 (talk) 23:33, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- No reason, fixed. Staxringold talkcontribs 01:03, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
