Is there any way we could add in his bio, or in trivia, about his signature batting stance? I'd be glad to do it. Something along the lines of
Sheffield is also known for his peculiar batting stance, in which he moves his bat towards the pitcher while batting, and example is here (then find a link) Kblavie 12:39, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- As long as you have a source, go for it. It would be better to find a place for it in the article than in a trivia section. --Djrobgordon 17:02, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
The section about steroids use is extremely speculative, and even confusing. I think it should be removed.
Agreed. It contradicted itself, unnecessarily highlighted Barry Bonds's issues, and then followed up with a patently false "quote" by owner Ilitch. I took out everything except for what Sheffield mentioned in his book. I also took out the "greedy athlete" comment since it was not a direct quote and violated NPOV. At some point we should put in what he recently said about Yankees manager Joe Torre, though. That was very controversial. Freeplay73

[edit] Hmm...
"Sheffield has openly admitted to not playing up to his potential in the early days of his career to ensure a trade or release from the Milwaukee Brewers. Further, he admits to purposely throwing fielded balls over the first basemen's head and into the stands."

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Sheffsoxfan.jpg
Image:Sheffsoxfan.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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
