Master's degrees conflicting sources: The article indicates two engineering master's degrees (human factors engineering/industrial and systems engineering) earned by Mejdal which is backed up by the reference in the sentence and at least one other reference on the page. However, the sports illustrated article
http://www.si.com/longform/astros/index.html says: "Mejdal, who is now 48 and married with a stepson, would go on to earn two master’s degrees from San Jose State, in operations research and cognitive psychology. "
Ok, I suggest going with what's said on his
official bio and in the exhaustive Sports Illustrated article "operations research and cognitive psychology". (I changed it in article-space) However, I also think it might be a good place to get a tad of original research from Mejdal (I can just ask him why there is a discrepancy), which may or may not provide useful input to figure out why sources conflict. I think one is probably the official title of the degree, while another is a more casual reference

Read through and saw no issues. I was going to ask about where the SABR note was, since it read like he had membership as a kid. Then I checked the source, and that was precisely the case. Can't say I expected that, was a nice fun fact to see. Anyway, since everything is addressed I'll pass the article.
