[edit] Cleaning up Timeline

Added a bit of information about the move of the team to PittsburghUnseemlyWeasel 14:56, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Minor league move??
Should the information about the minor league Colonel franchises be added to the Louisville Bats page and mentioned under a passage such as "History of Minor League Baseball in Louisville" ? UnseemlyWeasel 14:34, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
I agree: it seems to me that the major league team and minor league should each have their own entries. The current set up makes about as much sense as combining the three teams called "the Baltimore Orioles" in one article. Timothy Horrigan (talk) 02:45, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- The only caveat would be if there is crossover between any of the teams. A number of 19th century teams kind of drifted between the majors and the minors. That kind of thing came to a stop in 1901, obviously. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 03:12, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- I don't see any obvious connection between the team that ended in 1899 and the team that began in 1902. In fact, I'm fairly certain there isn't any. Barney Dreyfuss owned both Louisville and Pittsburgh, and he merged Louisville into Pittsburgh in 1900. So the articles should be separate, as with the major and minor league versions of the Milwaukee Brewers. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 15:27, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
