[edit] Discussion

An event mentioned in this article is a September 10 selected anniversary.

A paragraph recently added to this article claimed that a film with the bizarre title Famous Yankees Player: A Mickey Mantle Story is due for release in 2007 from Disney. Attempting to check the title and the spellings of the people involved, I find that I can't find any WWW evidence outside of Wikipedia to say that the project even exists. This includes general Google searches, Google News searches, and searches on disney.go.com. Likewise, none of the names listed in the paragraph are established actors/directors according to imdb.com.

The linked-to Wikipedia page which is supposedly providing further details about the film is riddled with bizarre spellings and states "facts" that would most likely not be known until after the movie was made.

I think this whole thing is a fake. I've deleted the paragraph from this article; obviously if someone can confirm that the movie project exists, then they should put it back. On the other hand, if it's a fake, then the other page should also be deleted.

Guyfl and sockpuppet, 68.201.28.24 , please refrain from adding spam links to this article. I would suggest you read the External links style guide for Wikipedia, particularly, Links to normally avoid. Thank you. Yankees76 21:14, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

I would also toss in http://www.baseball-almanac.com/feats/art_hr.shtmlas source information for the distance of the homeruns. The information within seems to be credible.

[edit] GA Re-Review and In-line citations

Members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria. (Discussion of the changes and re-review can be found here). A significant change to the GA criteria is the mandatory use of some sort of in-line citation (In accordance to WP:CITE) to be used in order for an article to pass the verification and reference criteria. Currently this article does not include in-line citations. It is recommended that the article's editors take a look at the inclusion of in-line citations as well as how the article stacks up against the rest of the Good Article criteria. GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on the Good Article project talk page or you may contact me personally. On behalf of the Good Articles Project, I want to thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into working on this article and improving the overall quality of the Wikipedia project.
