Biloxi Steamers Baseball

The article provides no references. A Web search didn't find anything except Wikipedia mirrors. The team doesn't appear in several standard books I checked on Negro league baseball. The editor who created the article has a history of vandalism in the handful of other articles that he/she has edited. Bottom line, although I'd love to be proved wrong, I suspect this article may be a hoax. BRMo (talk) 00:25, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

 * 'Speedy Delete: I edited article to reflect that this team never existed.  A passing admin can delete.  Too bad this stuck around for so long, but no one believed it, I suspect.--Milowent (talk) 01:13, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I declined speedy deletion because the article doesn't satisfy A7. It asserts the importance of the Steamers: "one of the greatest teams in baseball history winning 448 games of 551 in the teams years of existence". — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 01:15, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment After reviewing the discussion here and reviewing the (lack of) sources on Google Books and Google, I deleted it as a blatant hoax. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 01:18, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
