Null, my thinking is that people from Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island receive mail addressed to those cities, not New York, New York.

Since the Cubs-Dodgers series was completed in three games, MLB said that if a fifth game in the Phillies-Brewers series is necessary on October 7th, the start time was changed to 8:37 PM from its' original 6:07 PM. Given how the Phillies have been beating the Brew Crew like the rented government mule, it may not be needed after all. NoseNuggets ( talk) 2:50 PM US EDT Oct 5 2008

Here is the game summary from Dan Shaughnessy: http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2004/10/19/two_wins_in_hand_two_to_go/ . I have a hard time remembering the start and end time, it is still hard to fathom what Ortiz did during those 23 hours. I think people assume that all late October baseball games start in prime time which is why that passage was changed to 8:10 PM. Sswonk ( talk) 14:58, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
This has been discussed on Talk:2009 World Baseball Classic#Brackets and common sense dictates that the team on the upper part of the bracket goes to the upper half, and the lower team on the lower half, basically allowing the lines trace where they came from. It's like the 2007 postseason where the bracket leading to the LCS shows Boston rightfully on top since it is on the upper half of the bracket despite being at the bottom part of the box score for majority of the games. – Howard the Duck 18:32, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Would you object if I edited the MLB Playoff Summary template so that the "Date" field appears after the "Game" field?

NullSpace, I noticed that you changed the link to Jose Canseco's page, adding the accent. I'm not sure what the standard practice is with regards to baseball players, but I know that for hockey players we try to write the link as it appears at the top of the page which the link directs you to. I'd also point out that when you search josé canseco, you get redirected to jose canseco. What confuses me is that in the article, canseco is introduced using the accent. Maybe you can help clarify for me what is standard practice when linking players with accents. Thanks! DCnative311 ( talk) 17:47 (CST), July 25, 2011

I accidentally copy/pasted some stuff and got a little twisted up in the edit window dealing with the cites. I thought I had it good to go, but it was still screwed up. Sorry about that. You beat me to the fix. I started out just fixing the consecutive hit innings fact and found a bunch of other stuff to improve in the game summary.

You wanted a citation [2] for his being CS when he was really safe at 2nd base. I found one and put it in the article[en.wikipedia.org/?title=1985_World_Series&diff=next&=498907038] also slightly re-writing that section of the article. The source- Bill James 1986 Baseball Abstract. James wrote- "White then bunted for a single, but was called out at second base trying to steal. The call at second was questionable,". That was all James said on the play but he is a RS. Bleacher Report is the only other source I can find for it and BR isn't a good source. 1985 news articles available via Google news archive search make no mention of the play.

The entire Game 1 is posted on YouTube. If you watch, you will see Belcher hit Canseco on the right bicep and Doug Harvey did not call a foul tip strike, but awarded Canseco first base. Lasorda was the one who disputed that the ball hit his bat because of the sound and because the ball rolled all the way to the back fence in foul territory. Usually, if someone is hit with a pitch, it doesn't cause a ball to roll so far. Replays showed the ball hit Canseco in his bicep.
The McGwire quote can probably be removed; I remember reading it in either Inside Sports or Sport Magazine, but I can't quite pin it down.
