Talk:Robin Yount

middle name
is his middle name actually Rachel? I would take it off, except every source I Can find says just "R" for his middle name! — The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.65.240.196 (talk) 08:37, 1 January 2007 (UTC).

middle name
The "Rachel" is incorrect. Robin only possesses a middle initial "R." for a middle name.

ipa pronunciation is wrong
The IPA pronunciation (jɔnt) is wrong. The way it is written means that the vowel in yount is the same vowel as in caught(which is incorrect). The correct IPA is jaʊnt.

3000 Hit Club
Was he the youngest player to ever achieve 3000 hits? I remember speculation a few years before his retirement of his possibility to be the all time career hits leader. 74.214.54.170 (talk) 10:35, 6 November 2010 (UTC)


 * No - he was the third youngest, per the Hall of Fame and other sources. http://exhibits.baseballhalloffame.org/3000_hit_club/yount_robin.htm Kosmo99 (talk) 17:31, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Fewest All Star Games for a HOFer
New to the community here, so I'm not sure if it's proper to give a heads-up for changes that will be needed in the future.

This statement "His three All-Star appearances are tied with Ferguson Jenkins for the fewest of any Hall of Famer from the post-All-Star Game era" is currently true, but when Blyleven is inducted this summer, he'll have just 2 All Star appearances on his resume. Yount would still have the fewest of any position player in the HOF during the post-All-Star game era, though. Kosmo99 (talk) 17:40, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
