Talk:Hack Wilson

A League of Their Own
It has been suggested that Hack was the inspiration for the character of Jimmie Dugan. After comparing his bio with that of Jimmie Foxx, I have to conclude that the latter has a much stronger claim. Clarityfiend 01:45, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Home Run error?
In reading the article, it claims Wilson had 56 home runs in 1930. However, according to a linked article of home run champions by year, Babe Ruth is credited with having the most with 49 in 1930. Can anyone explain this please? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sirvice626 (talk • contribs) 07:51, 16 November 2009 (UTC)


 * It's by league. Ruth was in the American League, Wilson in the National League. -Phoenixrod (talk) 04:00, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Cardinals interlude
Towards the end of the piece, it mentions an off-season trade to the Cardinals, and a subsequent early-season trade from St. Louis. So shouldn't the Cardinals be listed at the top of the article amid the teams he played for? [sign] FLORIDA BRYAN
 * No. He never played for the Cardinals. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:53, 28 March 2014 (UTC)


 * FLORIDA BRYAN: Wilson was traded to the Cards in Dec 1931 and then traded again, this time to the Dodgers, in Jan 1932 so he never played even Spring ball with the Cards. I just rewrote several sentences in this section to clarify the issue. Thanks for bringing it to our attention! Ckruschke (talk) 16:46, 31 March 2014 (UTC)Ckruscke
