[edit] Yogi Buehrle

I can find no record of this person ever playing major league baseball, which is essentially the only notable characteristic mentioned in the article. None of the online lists of historical players mentions this guy, nor does he appear in the detailed statical summaries of the Pirates in the relevant years. Majorclanger 16:33, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

    • Comment Yeah, it sounds suspiciously like a hoaxish conflation of Yogi Berra and Mark Buehrle. Joe 18:12, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. Definite hoax. Among other things, there wasn't a draft in the 1930s. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 20:36, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. 0 non-wiki ghits -- even the most obscure MLB players get hits. (so to speak) --Fabrictramp 20:47, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. This article was created on May 12, 2007. It is a damn shame we're just now getting around to eradicating this HOAX page. Burntsauce 18:19, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:HOAX. Google search gives nothing outside of Encyclopedias and forums.--JForget 23:06, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
