[edit] Inspiration for Jimmy Dugan

There are two proposed candidates, Jimmie Foxx and Hack Wilson. After reading both their biographies, I find the former more likely, since he actually coached an AAGPBL team. The only resemblance to Wilson was that both were alcoholics, hardly unique. Clarityfiend 01:38, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removed odd trivia

Took out "*Mae Mordabito is the great aunt of Gregg "Opie" Hughes of the Opie and Anthony Show, heard weekday mornings on XM Satellite Radio and dozens of terrestrial radio stations." What does this mean? Hughes is the grandnephew of a fictional character? Or his great aunt happens to have the same name as Madonna's character? Who cares? Clarityfiend 13:57, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

--I think they're referring to the fact that Opie claims to be related to the woman that the character of Mae is based on. While his great-aunt MAY have been a baseball player, there's no definitive proof that she is the inspiration for Mae.

And apparently people do care, if the information was added. Although I disagree with your attitude, I do agree that, without proper confirmation, that "fact" should be removed. -- HMK

[edit] Plot summary

The plot summary is around 650 words, which I think is about the right length for a feature film, play or novel. I've removed the {{plot}} tag. --Tony Sidaway 00:42, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
