I'm told other stadiums don't follow my cited example of God Bless America on Sundays. By all means, please add your own examples. I'm sure there's lots of fun data that can be included in this article. --Feitclub 22:05, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that Abraham Lincoln didn't make it to a game in 1991?! --Barters 01:21, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plagiarism

Unfortunately, large sections of this article are taken verbatim from the About.com Guide to Urban Legend's page on the same subject, found here:

http://urbanlegends.about.com/cs/historical/a/seventh_inning.htm

For example, the second paragraph in the section called "Myths" is copied in whole from About.com. The parts of this article that haven't been ripped in whole are very close paraphrases to the About.com content.

I will report this page as plagiarized, but I don't have time to rewrite it right now. Perhaps someone can take the lead here? I don't want to just delete it because I'm not sure what the Wikipedia policies are at the moment regarding things like this. --Galaxiana 06:46, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

The Page about.com uses all Wikipedia articles on their page and they have a partnership with Wikiepdia.org so its not likley to be copyright violation. You should probally see the talk page on the article on about.com at Talk:About.com to see what I am talking about. Sawblade05 (talk to me | my wiki life) 14:54, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
