He did go out on a date with this average looking girl (found her on Myspace @ www.myspace.com/kristinantrim) last night to Lawry's in Chicago. I'm not making it up and I'm not a vandal. He had prime rib, mashed potatoes, cream corn, two bottles of wine, and a loaf of bread.

Nevertheless, it's an irrelevant fact to include in the article. Readers aren't going to care about his dating habits. Shadow1 (talk) 21:20, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

They were together again last night at Crescendo. Same girl, same shirt from Gadzooks. It must be a relationship!

They were spotted at the Casino Queen in St. Louis two nights in a row. July 24 and 25. Either she is a lady of the night or they are an item. ---

wasn't there a controversy about his age? should be mentioned in the article

Not really, Texas knew about it and dumped A-Rod's contract anyway.

[edit] related?

Is he related to Rafael Soriano? They are both from the Dominican Republic

- Nope.

nobody calls him alf so. at least i've never heard of it. when he played in new york we called him sori.

[edit] Middle name

Gosh, they sure confuse baseball player's middle names often. Baseball Reference says his middle name is Guilleard, ESPN says his middle name is Pacheco, Nationals.com says his middle name is Pacheco and The Baseball Page says it's Guilleard. "Alfonso Pacheco Soriano" gets 85 google hits, yet "Alfonso Guilleard Soriano" gets 392. The more official sources say Pacheco, yet Guilleard gets more google hits. This is split down the middle. What should we put? Anyone live in Washington and want to go hop over to a Nats game and ask him? --*kate speak 10:07, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

His license reads "Guilleard" as his middle name.

[edit] Nationals Section

A bit of this section is written in the present tense (2006 season). Where it says something about the manager not moving him back to second base.

[edit] Leadoff homeruns record?

13 leadoff homeruns is almost certainly not the MLB record. Bobby Bonds hit 35 from the leadoff spot. Does this mean it's the Yankees record? The AL record? I'm going to remove that line until someone clarifies what that mean. 24.60.16.78 02:19, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Ah, this must mean to lead off a game. I'll clarify. 24.60.16.78 02:19, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Called up to replace

Murton was called up before Soriano's injury, not to replace Soriano. This should be removed from the article, no? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.166.35.153 (talk) 01:05, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

According to the Sun Times, "Between him and Murton, who rejoined the starting lineup in left field this week in the wake of Soriano's injury, the Cubs are starting to look like they might not need the outside help for which general manager Jim Hendry says he's scanning the waiver wires.". I think it needs to be clarified that Murton replaced Soriano at Left field. Good eye. --ShadowJester07 ► Talk 01:08, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Exactly, Murton was recalled before the injury.When Soriano injured his leg, Murotn replaced him. Murton was not recalled to replace Soriano. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.166.35.153 (talk) 01:42, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
