The Jerold Hoffberger entry still contains various inaccuracies and needs to be fixed. I strongly recommend that you read The Baseball Business by James Edward Miller. This book is a detailed history & analysis of the business operations for both the Baltimore Orioles and Major League Baseball. It states that despite being investors from the start, Hoffberger and his National Brewing Co. didn't become the team's biggest shareholder until 1965. Clarence Miles was in total charge in the ballclub's first two seasons. He was succeeded by James Keelty Jr. as president and Joseph Iglehart as chairman of the board. Lee MacPhail later succeeded Keelty. It was actually Iglehart who had the franchise's largest stake before 1965. I definitely would like to know what's the proof backing up your argument.
As for style points, don't you think multiple mentions of one name is redundant and visually awkward? The Ink Daddy! ( talk) 22:45, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
Doubting the existence of the book I mentioned above? Read this, and this. The Ink Daddy! ( talk) 23:35, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
Style points are NEVER just a minor consideration! My belief is that the presentation of entries should be treated like published books or other printed publications. They should appear as professional as possible. The New York Yankees managers template SHOULD be cleaned up. I strongly feel that this goes hand-in-hand with how much one really cares about Wikipedia or the materials that go into it. DETAILS, MY FRIEND! DETAILS! The Ink Daddy!
