I would like to see the documentation for the following two statements: "There, Cartwright established the first baseball league composed of teams he created from throughout the Hawaiian islands. His Hawaiian leagues became a model for the modern American and National Leagues of today." I'm writing the biography of AJ Cartwright and have never found this to be a fact in over five years of research.


[edit] WikiProject:Baseball

I've added this to the Baseball WikiProject. I've labled as "Start" class because, while there's information here, it's fairly unsourced and there are some legitimate concerns with the accuracy (see above comments). I've labeled it as "High" importance because, as this man is "another" purported inventor of modern baseball, we want to make sure that it, as a basis for a lot of baseball to come after him, is accurately represented. -Sliver7 14:01, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

  • The questions of accuracy possibly stem from the long-standing efforts to turn Alex Cartwright into the "real Abner Doubleday". Wahkeenah 17:57, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
