[edit] Clarification of Affiliations

I think it would be a good project for someone who is familiar with the Zephyrs to reorganize the first paragraph dealing with the current situation of the Zephyrs' affiliations. "most recently affiliated with the Nationals" but now affiliated with the Mets. A little confusing and poor choice of wording. Mikelj 22:45, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

In the 4th paragraph, it states "To date, the Zephyrs are the only professional sports franchise in Louisiana to win a championship" -- this is UNTRUE. Shreveport won seven Texas League championships; Alexandria won two Texas-Louisiana League championships & the 2006 United League championship; Baton Rouge won the 2001 All-American Association championship...

[edit] Citation needed

I'm putting the citation request back on the statement "The team was well-known in part for being the only baseball team with a "Z" on their caps"

"unneccessary request. It's easy to research that the NO Zephyrs are the only the team with a "Z" on their caps." is not a valid reason to remove the tag, in my opinion. First of all, that isn't the question - the question is how do we know that they were well-known in part for the Z on their caps. Second of all, the statement seems to require original research. Rather than require a search to acculutlate date to substantiate a fact, that fact must already have been published. --Chancemichaels 20:02, 3 April 2007 (UTC)Chancemichaels

[edit] Inaccurate Information

The article states, "To date, the Zephyrs are the only professional sports franchise in Louisiana to win a championship." However, the Shreveport Mudbugs, a professional hockey team, won three championships between 1999-2001.

[edit] Kevin Mulvey

He is no longer part of the Zephyrs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.122.2.124 (talk) 18:55, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
