[edit] "Hippo"

In The Neyer/James guide to pitchers (The Neyer/James Guide to Pitchers: An Historical Compendium of Pitching,Pitchers, and Pitches. Bill James and Rob Neyer. 2004.), a note after Schanz's entry reads as follows:

The nickname "Hippo" doesn't show up in the encyclopedias, but it does appear every time Schanz appears in the Pacific Coast Baseball News.

Should this be included? Neyer and James are very reliable sources, but they're just as clueless about it as we probably are, so... - Experimental Hobo Infiltration Droid (talk) 00:40, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
