Born 2005? I'm thinking that's a typo. -- Longhair 02:56, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
Shouldn't there be a section about the rape allegations against him and how no team but the Mets would touch him with a ten foot pole because of those allegations?
"This is why they're allegations, & not fact."
Keep in mind
"The Salem witch trials were all allegations."
The trade rumor isn't "unverifiable", it was widely reported as such: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2120374 http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=12146 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/gammons/story?id=2123868

I added the Lastings Milledge facts to the links section. I figured I would put this in there being it was shown on a Mets broadcast and could be read as a joke by anyone looking to find out more about Lastings and his popularity in New York. NYGiantsNYMets91 23:19, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
If Lastings is not currently a National League player, then who is now the youngest player in the league? - Seidenstud 15:32, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
There has been sort of a revert war over mentioning the sexual misconduct allegations against Milledge when he was in High School. Since the Daily News and other sources have reported his expulsion due to allegations he had sex with a minor, these should be reported in the article and cited appropriately. However, the nonsense which was added today about him being hit by a pitch in a high school game was both irrelevant and a serious violation of Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. There was also a highly inappropriate joke about the sexual conduct allegations.
Please always make sure that when you write about a living person, you stick to the facts and cite sources. I will clean up the article and add this Daily News citation: [2] Rhobite 21:48, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
An anonymous user added some info about Milledge's performance in the 1997 Little League World Series, and included a reference of "(The Tampa Tribune, August 14, 1997)." I found what appears to be the actual article in question here, and reformatted the reference using {{cite news}}. However, I should point out that I have no idea if the assertions made by the anonymous editor are confirmed by the article - only that the article mentions Milledge and seems to be about the referenced game. The reason I have not personally seen the article is that the Tampa Bay Tribune has a pay-per-article archive, and I do not want to pay this time around. If anyone has access to the archive (e.g. paper subscribers, etc.), feel free to confirm, then update the citation with a more specific URL and an accessdate.
