As a baseball fan, albeit of the proper team, I can't get too worked up about it. First off we all know who really owned the 9th, and there are many much more ill-intentioned edits I'd worry about before standard fanboyism. That said, good people nipped that at the bud so said Yankee washout didn't get too much credit! The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 03:13, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

When the fanboys do it - at least half a dozen times a month it seems - I can say to myself "ordinary Wikipedia vandalism" - and forget about it. When it looks like sport writers are doing it themselves, because they can't bother coming up with a good story without vandalizing Wikipedia - I say someday I'll catch one of these bozos, but getting proof is pretty difficult. When the team itself tweets, in effect, "go vandalize Wikipedia" I say "that's why we have the 'Gobbler of the month'!" Somebody needs to call out the turkeys.
