Mickey Mantle
Hi, I reverted your edit(s) to the Mickey Mantle article under suspicion of false information. If you believe your information change was valid, please provide a reliable source and discuss it on the talk page before adding it into the article again. My apologies, if your information was correct. Thank you, —Wknight94 (talk) 21:42, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I've also reverted it as original research. I can't see how any casual Wikipedia user can even verify this information. Besides that I fail to see how it's anything more than an vanity entry by an ex player who had a minor league no hitter broken up by Mickey Mantle. An infield single and stealing some bases while playing in the minor leagues can hardly be considered notable enough for an encyclopedia. If Atkinson wants to start an article on himself and find some sources for the Mantle quotes and 1952 College World Series then fine, but singling himself out in Mickey's article without any sources doesn't conform to article standards. --Komrade Kiev (talk) 00:10, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on The Whiz Kids and Lions were part of the Junior Cardinal League Organized by Cardinals Scout Runt Marr and Boston Red Sox Scout Joe Becker, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
