 * Note. Not sure it's enough, but here's some coverage of Snapp: 1913 article on managing in Kansas and Nebraska, note on hiring in Paris.  Also a somewhat detailed article about him appeared in The Sporting News on Feb. 26, 1925, p. 6.  Another article about Snapp ("There Are Other Texans Besides Tris: Earl (Red) Snapp" appeared in The Sporting News on April 12, 1923, p. 4. Cbl62 (talk) 06:05, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * To me, those two don't seem to be enough. I don't know what the offline article says. I also don't know what "la84foundation" is but it seems like quite the resource. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:22, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The LA 84 Foundation was established at the time of the 1984 Summer Olympics in LA. It is dedicated to preserving sports history.  It operates one of the largest sports libraries in the world. Many of their older holdings are searchable from the web site.  They have, for example, a complete run of "Sporting Life" that is web searchable - an excellent resource for pre-1920  baseball players. Cbl62 (talk) 22:01, 20 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. After researching further, Snapp is a keeper.  He won at least seven minor league pennants as a manager.  He was known as the "king of the minors" in Texas in the 1920s and was profiled with feature articles at least three times by the leading baseball publication of the era, The Sporting News.  He was so respected as a manager that, when he was hired, several teams renamed themselves the "Snappers" in his honor.  I have expanded the article to incorporate information from these articles.

 * Keep Per the work Cbl62 performed. Alex (talk) 23:59, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't know where you found all those offline sources, but I do know it's enough of a snow keep for me to withdraw this one. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:22, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
