Not notable. Minor league baseball player whose biggest claim to fame is being the switch hitter that faced Pat Venditte in that short season game. Sources discuss him only in passing, not at the level of depth required for GNG. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:02, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment - I doubt that his achievements themselves rise to a level that would typically meet notability. But if he was half responsible (with Venditte) for baseball making the switch hitter/pitcher rule change, then he may well warrant an article.  Or at least a merge and redirect to the section in Venditte's article discussing the incident and the rule change. Rlendog (talk) 16:34, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I would disagree because of WP:BLP1E and WP:NOTINHERITED, since the moment drew attention to the switch pitcher, not the switch htiter. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:43, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I can see WP:NOTINHERITED, although I think it is a bit of a stretch, since his own actions were part of what led to the rule change. But neither that nor WP:BLP1E, which I think is more relevant, preclude a redirect (and merger of the relevant material, which is limited) to the article which discusses the issue for which he played his 1E role.
