[edit] Incorrect Hank Bauer link

There's a link that appears to be incorrect-- it's for the "Hank Bauer" entry, but it goes to a page that describes a baseball player and not the Chargers' Bauer. I don't have the knowledge of the personalities to fix this, but hopefully someone else does. Migp 18:39, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Migp is absolutely right, the link to Hank Bauer is incorrect. It's linked to a deceased baseball player and manager for the New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles; this Hank Bauer died in 2002 of lung cancer. I have removed the incorrect link and will probably write a short bio article on the correct Bauer mentioned in this article.
The Chargers' player in question is named Henry John "Hank" Bauer and is still very much alive and doing color commentary for Chargers' radio broadcasts.. See here for (Bauer's Chargers' Stats).
He played from 1977-1982 (until a broken neck forced his retirement), he spent four years as Chargers' Special Teams coach and then sixteen years as sports anchor for a local TV station. Bauer's engaging personality and "never-say-die" attitude has made him a fan favorite to this day.

[edit] Tone

There are many terms within this article that violate WP:NPOV, and others which violate both NPOV and WP:CITE. Many have been marked with cite tags. Pats1 20:31, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Winning record

The Chargers had a winning record in 1987, I'm pretty sure of it. 8-7 was the record, so I'm going to make a slight change. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.213.132.253 (talk) 23:15, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Edited to say that the Chargers didn't go to the playoffs again until 1992. WAVY 10 Fan (talk) 19:27, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
