He was mostly a minor league figure, so he may not be notable enough for an article. He does have a couple things going for him: he managed for a while, leading a couple of teams to league championships and he also served as a scout. You decide whether he stays or goes.

 * Merge it then with the article on minor league figures --Zarutian (talk) 18:15, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment I have tagged this article for rescue. Silver  seren C 19:08, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep I have added about 12 sources to the article. I believe that his managerial duties, which are professed in the news far more than his actual baseball playing career, give him enough significant coverage to be notable. Silver  seren C 19:08, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - I think his being in the Pennsylvania Hall of Fame, along with the various other references, are enough to get the article over WP:GNG. P. D. Cook  Talk to me! 20:00, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. 8 reliable sources, most of them giving him significant coverage - seems like it meets WP:GNG to me. Alzarian16 (talk) 21:01, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep seems to meet general notability guideline.--Paul McDonald (talk) 21:26, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't really see significant coverage of this man, since the mentions seem to be in local papers in the places where he happened to be at the time. Being inducted by the Berks County chapter of the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame is not inherent notability under any standard.  He's one of 562 enshrinees in Pennsylvania, which has 28 chapters that nominate local favorites.  In terms of fame, it's on the level of being "Rotarian of the Year" in one's local Rotary Club.

 * Keep Hall of fame player - 'nuff said. Props to User:Silver seren for his good hard work on this. Colonel Warden (talk) 20:57, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
