This template generally duplicates the efforts of Template:Minor league team, though it adds stylized uniforms. I think generally it should be used for international teams, or the two should be merged somehow. Major league baseball teams have their own infobox: Template:MLB infobox.

As part of the merge with Template:Japanese baseball team, I commented out a few parameters, dealing with the latest season, namely:
What do we think of those?
One other thing: Are "Logo Design" and "Colors" necessary if we have the image of the log and the baseball uniform template? Rolando ( talk) 13:30, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
As for parameters that were left out, I think manager and record (probably for the most recent completed season) would be the best. Personally, I've found it hard to find managers for Japanese baseball teams, but that doesn't mean we can't put it in there for other teams. El Cid 05:25, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
Added information for the most recent complete season. These are all optional.
Any thoughts on the following:
I ran into these when doing teams from the Korean Baseball Organization. I think it might look something like:
Owner | {{{Owner}}} |
---|---|
Management | {{{Management}}} |
Sponsors | {{{Sponsors}}} |
Ownership | George Steinbrenner |
---|---|
Management |
Brian Cashman (GM) James K. Polk (President) |
Sponsors | Ovaltine |

I was thinking about trying to use (or adapt?) this template as I expand the articles on the teams in this league. I've been reading up on it, and its all really quite interesting. Any suggestions? Dina 19:44, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Don't click on that link; it will redirect you. Well, anyway... it redirects to {{ Infobox Sports team}}, which is a useful generic template for clubs/teams playing sports without their own infoboxes (or at least, that's how I think it works). But baseball does seem to have its own infobox. Ta-da! So why don't we change the "Baseball team" infobox to call this infobox, rather than simply redirecting? It's a little bit of work and would affect between 50-100 articles. What do people think of this? Note that there are parameters on {{ Infobox Sports team}} that we may want to incorporate here (e.g. color1 and color2?). Rolando 12:52, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
I think the infobox looks better without borders. Kc0616 16:25, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Added TextColor and BackColor parameters to allow editors to add a little bit of color at the top of the template. Rolando 23:55, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Could we please add a Colours parameter for clubs located outside the U.S.? — Wiki Wikardo 07:50, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
There were a lot of changes to the template made and reverted in 2022. Unfortunately, they weren't all reverted in the documentation. "Inaugural season" is one case; I'm sure there are others. If anyone had the time, please take a look. -- Pemilligan ( talk) 04:20, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
