Born 2005? I'm thinking that's a typo. -- Longhair 02:56, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, was a typo, fixed it to 1985 Xalfor 06:39, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rape allegations

Shouldn't there be a section about the rape allegations against him and how no team but the Mets would touch him with a ten foot pole because of those allegations?

"This is why they're allegations, & not fact."

               Keep in mind 

"The Salem witch trials were all allegations."

[edit] Milledge-for-Manny

The trade rumor isn't "unverifiable", it was widely reported as such: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2120374 http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=12146 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/gammons/story?id=2123868

Do we want to include trade rumors attributed to anonymous sources, even if they come from otherwise reputable news outfits? My vote would be no unless you cite stories where principals involved (like GMs or agents) are quoted on the record. Veronique 19:05, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lastings Milledge Facts

I added the Lastings Milledge facts to the links section. I figured I would put this in there being it was shown on a Mets broadcast and could be read as a joke by anyone looking to find out more about Lastings and his popularity in New York. NYGiantsNYMets91 23:19, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Generally speaking, listings to fan sites are frowned upon in wikipedia unless they are of special significance - like a very large, established, active site with lots of varied content focused on the subject. If we aren't pretty strict about fan sites, the links sections can easily fill up with dubious listings. Wikipedia isn't supposed to function as a portal or list of links. --Veronique 23:25, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Give me a break. There are no blatant ads on the site, and one could argue that it is the "definitive" LM site, especially since Cotter mentioned it on SNY. I agree that we can't have every little site that mentions LM, but this is truly a unique site (not mine) that hundreds of NYM fans have contributed to and access on a regular basis.
