[edit] John Henry Lloyd's date of death
According to the Connelsville (PA) Daily Courier, dated March 20, 1964 (page 6), John Henry Lloyd died the day before on March 19, 1964. The Baltimore (MD) Afro-American of March 24, 1964, gives the same information.
While Mr. Liebman may not be providing proper references, I have to agree with his findings in this case. John Henry Lloyd did indeed die in 1964, not 1965. Most if not all of the erroneous references to his death date go back to Robert Peterson's book, Only the Ball Was White, and the error has simply been perpetuated without any attempt at confirmation.
I will not make the change myself just yet, but I think that a truce should be called in this particular edit war.

The "Social Security Death Index" doesn't give an exact date, but does say that he died in March, 1964. Davost (talk) 14:28, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
- The problem was that Liebman wouldn't provide citations, and that's why he's a banned user. However, others did, and the date is now sufficiently cited in this article. Thanks for checking. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 14:31, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
