Talk:Édgar Rentería

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.

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.

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)

Renteria with the Cardinals
In his years with the Cardinals, Renteria made 3 all-star teams, won two gold gloves, 3 silver sluggers and made the post season 4 times. Yet, according to this page, his time on the Cardinals in strictly known as the guy who made the final out in the 04 World Series and is helped further by stating that Busch Stadium is known as the place where the curse of the Bambino died...which it really isn't. I've never heard to it being referred to that way. Very poor article! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.193.197.122 (talk) 14:50, 14 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes. His time with the Cardinals is best known for being the batter that ended the Curse of the Bambino. Busch Memorial Stadium IS the place where the curse died, as the Red Sox won the 2004 World Series there, not in Boston. -- SNIyer12, (talk), 22:44, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
