[edit] Renteria: returning to form

If reference is to be made to Renteria's improved performance in '06, I think some short cautionary add-on should be made to the effect that his range s at shortstop appears to be declining and has dropped subbstantially from his earlier gold glove years.

[edit] I'm serious please dont delete.

This is totally true but I do not know what year this incident took place but i think it was between 1990 and 1998 but in plant city florida good ol edgar was pulled over for speeding. i think this is where it might have taken place in 97 or 98 because of his major league debut. edgar was pulled over by a plant city policeman. the policeman knew who edgar was but still had to treat him equally. So to get out of the speeding ticket, edgar gives the officer a glove he had used in a recent game. in the coming weeks the officer was asked by the department why he didnt give edgar a ticket and was given a glove instead. so to cover his own a** edgar claimed that the officer stole the glove in order to get out of another ticket. The Plant City Police department fired the officer and edgar got out of the speeding ticket. Im not sure if that is notable or not but i find it extremely crude, I am going to find a citation for this.

I called the Tampa Tribune and they indeed have a story in their archives on this incident and they are sending me a copy of the article very shortly and I will be more than happy to put the article on this talk page.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Edgar Renteria 1997 World Series Triumph.JPG

Image:Edgar Renteria 1997 World Series Triumph.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Removed: He also was accused for murder in a trail in 1997.

Not sure when this edit went in, but I've gone digging around and came up with no criminal cases with him as a defendant. Definitely not verifiable, likely libelous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.70.61.254 (talk) 03:03, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
