Can anyone tell me why a list from an obscure ESPN Classic show should take up half of the Ralph Branca article? I know there's a similar list on Pete Rose and I don't like that one either. Any reason I shouldn't delete it? --djrobgordon 22:06, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

No, you're right. This page almost reads as if Branca wrote it. If someone can't name a good reason for the article's current state as excuse for giving up the home run, a lot of this material should go. Tis includes the strange (and unsourced) paragraph on Branca's relationship with the priest. Anyone want to make an argument for their staying in such substantial spots? --Mcmboy 16:41, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Baseball Hall of Shame reference

What is the book called The Baseball Hall of Shame that is mentioned as an authority in the “You Can’t Blame Ralph Branca!” section? It's put out as an authority, but I don't even know who wrote it. -Phoenixrod 22:07, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
