Fraudulent page on WikiPedia on John Oldham (baseball)
The current page purporting that Oldham is a lefthanded pitcher born in 1984 appears to be a work of fiction. Both Retrosheet http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/MISC/PLD_OL.htm and Baseball-Reference indicate that http://www.baseball-reference.com/pl/player_search.cgi?search=john+oldham indicate that the only John Oldhams to ever appear did so during 1956 (John Hardin Oldham) and (John Cyrus "Red" Oldham) and from 1916-1926.McGill1974 (talk) 14:37, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
