[edit] Mike Stevenson

Mike Stevenson (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I can't find any information that states that "Mike Stevenson" (or, for that matter, "Carl Stevenson") was ever a Chicago Cub. The nickname "Crazy Carl" appears to refer to Carl Everett who is a different player entirely. No sources are provided by the author, and the prod tag was removed without comment by an IP. Delete for lack of verification. ... discospinster talk 14:22, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Strong Delete as complete hoax. The "Daytona Cubs" didn't exist until the 1990s, the "Iowa Cubs" not before the 1980s, baseball was neither played in Ireland in the 1950s or today, paralegals didn't exist per se before the 1970s, and baseball-reference.com doesn't list a major or a minor leaguer by this name. You'd think the creator would take the trouble to make a good hoax. RGTraynor 16:51, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete I don't know where to start on this rather blatant hoax. The article has the subject simultaneously playing for Duke and the Cubs farm system... I'll just leave it there. Caknuck 17:44, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong delete per above. In addition to the other fictional content, the article describes the subject as having been drafted by a baseball team a few years before the Major League Baseball Draft was actually instituted. --Metropolitan90 20:16, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete A sourceless hoax. Corporal Punishment 23:48, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
