Talk:Core Four

Picture of the Four
Can someone find a picture of the Core Four together (perhaps with the Commissioner's Trophy during their last World Series together in 2009 or after the final game at the old Yankee Stadium)?

 * The picture of them holding the WS trophy in 2009 is a great one, but non-free. The SI cover would also be great, but again, non-free. I don't think we have enough fair use rationale. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:09, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Fielding Stats
Should this article include the Core Four's fielding statistics (as Jeter and Posada do hold some team records for fielding)?

The tables
As it stands, this article has two tables with two rows apiece, as you can't compare hitters to pitchers. Also, Pettitte and Rivera are not directly comparable, since one is a starter and the other a reliever. I've thought about this, and I don't like it. Statistics such as these should probably be in prose, and the tables probably deleted. I know that's what came to mind when I was considering reviewing this for GA, before I decided to help work on it instead. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:17, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Jorge Posada is to the Core Four as Ringo Starr is to the Beatles
Interesting. I will work this article in later. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:44, 13 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Found another article on MLB.com that refers to Jorge as Ringo. This one also compares the rest of the Core Four to the Beatles.  Hope this helps. —Bloom6132 (talk) 04:41, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

End of 2013
We should probably work in the Core Four sendoffs. We have a section on "Beginnings" and "Group achievements", but I'm not sure where to factor in "Endings". – Muboshgu (talk) 12:03, 28 September 2013 (UTC)


 * The "Endings" section could include Mariano Rivera Day (where Jorgie came back for the ceremony and tossed the first pitch), the Yankees' ceremony for Andy Pettitte (albeit minor compared to Mo's), as well as Mo's memorable Yankee Stadium sendoff (where Jeter and Pettitte take him out of the game). It's bound to be a bit "Mo–centric" for now, but the coverage should be balanced by the time Jeter retires. —Bloom6132 (talk) 14:03, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I like it. It doesn't have to be too "Mo-centric" though, because we can include Pettitte's first and second retirements, and things about Jeter being the last member standing. Want to give it a shot? There is no such thing as ownership of articles, but clearly this one is more your baby than ours. I'll help as I can. – Muboshgu (talk) 14:41, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, we never added those "Posada/Ringo" links from the above section. We can add on info on Posada's retirement. – Muboshgu (talk) 14:43, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I'll give it shot soon, but probably not this week. Second-year law starts for me and I'll be quite busy.  Feel free to carry on without me; I'm more than happy to share a co-nom with you.  Cheers! —Bloom6132 (talk) 00:13, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Good luck with that! Time is tough to come by. I'll edit as I can myself. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:38, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks! There're no classes for me this week (just lectures), so I'll try to add as much as I can before the storm begins. —Bloom6132 (talk) 01:08, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

An evening with the Core Four
Wish I was there: – Muboshgu (talk) 16:56, 10 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Yeah, same here. Do you think Core Four reunions should be mentioned in the article, or is it just purely trivial? —Bloom6132 (talk) 20:11, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Since that article references them as "Core Four" and reports on them reflecting on their careers, the source should be useful. That they gather is potentially noteworthy. It depends. – Muboshgu (talk) 14:35, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

Yeah Jeets
It'll be good to keep an eye out for any sources that compare Jeter's farewell season to Mariano's. Esp if they use the term "Core Four". – Muboshgu (talk) 14:33, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
