Leif Skillrud
The article is a hoax. No one named "Leif Skillrud" has played professional baseball with any of the teams the article mentions. It claims he played in the Milwaukee Brewers organization, both in the majors and minors, however, no record of anyone named "Skillrud" exists at The Baseball Cube or Baseball-Reference, two top baseball stats/info websites. Furthermore the original version of the article included what was probably intended to be a photo of "Lief Skillrud". The picture was actually of Jamey Wright (compare with image here) NatureBoyMD (talk) 03:51, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
