Talk:John Olerud

Untitled
why is the photo of him as a Red Sox? Most people will remember him on the Blue Jays or Mariners seriously.. somebody put up a mariners or a blue jays picture.

Why is he listed as never having played in the minor leagues? A rehab stint still counts as minor league service.

"John Olerud became a Christian after having a brain aneurysm." This is an awfully ham-fisted segue. Whomever tacked on this statement, please find a more artful way to to add it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.150.138 (talk) 18:24, 23 January 2009 (UTC) I removed the odd aneurism/Christian statement, as it did not fit. The last paragraph (a paragraph describing his retirement announcement) in the "professional" career section is not a place to discuss an event that occurred even before his professional career began. The statement itself is ambiguous. He became a Christian after every single event in his life up until then. I assume it was something significant about the aneurysm experience that caused his conversion, but I wouldn't know it from reading that statement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.150.138 (talk) 18:35, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Agreed. It's a travesty that this article still sports that pic of Olerud in a Red Sox jersey. -- 135.23.189.197 (talk) 03:30, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

Hall of Fame
When is Olerud eligible for induction into the Hall of Fame, and what is the talk on whether he'll make it in or not? 66.49.191.98 (talk) 22:39, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Obstructed view "material"
I removed the stuff about his houses' un obstructed view as non notable nd undue weight. If this turns into some widely covered story, than maybe revisit in the future. Thanks, --Malerooster (talk) 16:09, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
