Copyedit

RyRy has asked me to copyedit. I'm ignorant about baseball and my American isn't fluent, so please watch out for errors. I've also added some "xxxxx"s where the information is really needed, but I don't know it, and some hidden comments where I was unsure about something. Please help the Limey. Thanks --Dweller (talk) 09:21, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(This is from another person. "American" is supposed to be "English." Just to let you know! ;-D) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.37.162.68 (talk) 22:32, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it’s likely not. As he specified he was a “Limey,” he was likely jocularly referring to the “American language” pointing out his lack of native facility in an Am.E. variety. —Wiki Wikardo 21:07, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

American English

Would you really consider the shoes and glove as part of the uniform? I’d think of those things more as part of the “kit.” —Wiki Wikardo 21:07, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

More like "equipment". ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 23:07, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
