Honus Wagner

I could be a Sir, as I have a Knight in my background, hence my possible (very) distant relationship to User:Wknight94. The Old Dutchman is one of my favorite players, i.e. one of those that I'd like to watch playing the game if I had a time machine; and I agree that the article has had little justice done to it, considering Wagner was the "greatest star" of his day, according to Ty Cobb, no less, and was a charter member of the Hall of Fame. I also have to admit that I don't know that much about the details of Wagner's life. Maybe it's time I learned. There are lengthy articles about Cobb and Ruth, but seemingly not much more than bare bones about Wagner. There was a lot more to his career than his rare baseball card. This is not the best time, as I have a trip coming up. But go to the WP:Baseball page and pose the same challenge you put on my page and see if anyone bites. P.S. Willie Stargell was one of my favorite players also, except I actually got to see him play from time to time. And even if he did kill my Cubs in a crucial game in 1969.

I'll be on the road until about mid-June. So, are you old enough to have seen "Pops" play? The thing is, I like home run hitters, and he hit some serious tape measure blows, long before there was anything called "steroids" circulating around the big leagues. I think he cleared the Forbes Field roof like 15 times in the relatively short time he played there before Three Rivers opened. And I may be wrong, but I think he launched a few into the upper deck at Three Rivers, which was not so easy to do. Back to Wagner, there is a biography from a few years back that I should re-read and learn more. But there should be plenty of sources around otherwise. I guess the dilemma with Wagner is that he retired before baseball became really "big" in the post-WWI era. Cobb played through most of the roaring twenties, so he was well-covered. And Wagner wasn't a maniac like Cobb, so he didn't get as much press, I reckon. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 02:43, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
That's the bio I was talking about. I would think it would provide most of the basics needed for the article. And don't wait on me, or anyone else - go for it. As for the Pirates, they have had serious ups and downs in their history. Unfortunately, in recent years they've been like they were in the late 1940s / early 1950s, when they had Ralph Kiner and almost literally nothing else, and lost a lot of games. But Branch Rickey worked some magic on those Pirates, just as he had on the Dodgers and the Cardinals before then, and it eventually paid off, although Rickey himself wasn't with the team by then. The first World Series I remember is 1960, although I didn't see Game 7 live because all the games were in the daytime in those days and that one was on a Thursday. However, Maz instantly became one of my favorite players, and I got tearful when he was finally inducted into the Hall of Fame (he got a bit tearful also). He was an excellent player. Clemente, though, was one of the all-time greats. He could hit for both power and average, and was deadly from right field if a runner tried to stretch to an extra base. What might he have further accomplished had he not boarded that overloaded plane trying to help in the Guatemalan relief effort? Anyway, in my lifetime I'm used to seeing the Pirates as winners, and it's really painful what has happened to them (kind of like what happened to the Orioles, another favorite). At least you've got DVD's and films to watch. The glory years of my Cubs were practically before film was invented. :( Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 03:30, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
I won't have time to do anything with this until at least mid-June, so go for it. Wagner seems to have been a well-centered guy. Reminds me of some of the stories I've read about probably the greatest Cubs pitcher of all time, and another of my favorites, Mordecai Brown. He knew how good he was, but didn't get too full of himself, and was accessible to fans. Wagner was before my time. I've had the pleasure of meeting Hall-of-Famer Bob Feller a couple of times. Very down-to-earth guy, not only signing autographs (as he was paid to do at these promotions) but also chatting a bit, talking about the old days. A true brush with greatness. :) Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 01:43, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Disregard; I see what you did now. Just saw a big ol' red change on my watchlist and thought I'd investigate. Nice work. Dppowell (talk) 21:51, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Hey. I recently added Christopher Lee onto the cast list, but then you removed him. What you didn't know is that it has been said on Christopher Lee's website's fourm that Christopher Lee IS returning as Count Dooku on the new animated Star Wars film. Here's what the administrator of the fourm said: "Mr. Lee has recorded the voice of Count Dooku for this movie a couple of months ago. It was however, the first time he had to lip synch to a character because they had produced the animation before recording his voice." --User:24.81.112.42 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 23:40, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
