Fails WP:Athlete as baseball player who apparently never played above independent leagues or possibly a low level farm club. References section provides no direct link to subject to otherwise establish nobility, and google turns up nothing relevant. Majorclanger (talk) 15:31, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Asserts that he played professionally, but none of the sources indicate this. Unverifiable, doesn't meet WP:ATHLETE.  JUJUTACULAR  | TALK 15:41, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Even if sourced, he didn't play at the highest level of pro competition. Pitcher Bobby Chouinard was the first (and so far, only) native of the Philippines to play in the major leagues, for Oakland, Milwaukee, Arizona and Colorado between 1996 and 2001.

 * Delete. A Google search didn't find evidence of a professional baseball player by this name. His name doesn't appear in the baseball-reference.com minor league database, and they cover the independent Prairie League and Western League.  This strongly suggests that the article may be a hoax; regardless of whether or not its a hoax, it fails the notability criteria and should be deleted. BRMo (talk) 22:23, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
