[edit] Career fielding percentage

Sandberg's career fielding percentage was .990 when he retired in 1994, but after playing in the '96 and '97 seasons, the number was reduced to .989. User:68.77.17.119 15:38, 21 January 2005 (UTC)

According to what source? If you are using baseball-reference.com, that is not an official source. Kingturtle 22:33, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Every source I can find has the .989 number. Here's the link to MLB: http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/stats_historical/mlb_individual_stats_player.jsp?playerID=121665

I think I still like mine best. WikiDon 20:59, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Well, I was just trying to improve it... if you wanna use the one that was there, that's ok. Or, if you want to use the jersey pic that I uploaded, with the blue border around it instead of that gray (which I didn't mean to do I wanted the blue)... I guess you could do that.. if you want, that is. FPAtl 04:27, August 29, 2005 (UTC)

I like the way the one I did stands out. It is the focus. I wish the one you submitted was sharper, and the red would come out more. Maybe we need a third opinion? WikiDon 05:06, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Baseball is Boring

I can't think of anything more boring to read about than baseball. I just had to say it. Actually, no, I just wanted to say it. A lot. Because I got an SMS from "Ryne" and I don't know what it means. - 61.9.204.168
