Talk:Tom Emanski

Question: What are the sources for this article? The middle name, IRS, and Aruba stuff could all be true, but it sounds far-fetched. And no one calls Emanski "the Father of Modern Baseball." Google "'Tom Emanski' 'Father of Modern Baseball'" and there are two results- this page, and one with links to Emanski and to Alexander Cartwright, who is credited as "The Father of Modern Baseball."

I redid the whole page and removed the dubious "Father of Modern Baseball' claim, added more citations (sadly a couple from Emanski's own video site). there is a sparcity of biographical info on the web. I was unable to find any of the facts in the final paragraph. Also, I can't figure out what team he led to his supposed 3peat in the AAU National Championships. I found a list of AAU Baseball winners but no 3x champs from the 1980s. Anyone have better luck? MKaiserman 14:51, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
 * With a little hunting, I found additional resources. Emanski's three-peat claim seems a little dubious (different kids, who knows how many teams he coached - had to look under both "Fern Park" and "Baseball World"). I have found NO resources confirming the IRS story or about his wealth. If the article passes safely through deletion, we may want to remove this paragraph for lack of citations.

How is it that the first video was released around 1991, yet commercials for them have been airing for 18 years, according to this article? Vorenus 23:26, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

This article almost reads like an advertisement. Needs more NPOV, methinks. - kk tor 03:11, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
