I love Pittsfield.
Me, too. That said, I'd like to make sure we get the details in this article right. Most sources seem to agree that Waconah Park was opened in 1919, not 1918. Jim Bouton's site refers to organized baseball at Waconah from 1892 onwards, but that probably meant ball played on the site, not in park as it stands today. Ethanz 18:22, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
The main part of the Baseball section needs at least a reliable source such as James A. Vlasich, A Legend for the Legendary: The Origin of the Baseball Hall of Fame (BGSU 1990) and a link to baseball origins or history, probably removing some content to one of those articles. Doubleday or Cooperstown may be in dire straits and the reference to mlb players born in Pittsfield looks nonstandard ("Gold Glove" and "Outfielder"). I will check project discussion for baseball and locales or communities, but what I expect to find indicated there is a career or two rather than what to do here. 64.48.78.40 19:11, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Aaronlife, I appreciate your attention to detail and your ability to write prose, but prose does not belong in a neutral, factual article. ´´Visitors and residents of Pittsfield alike are marveling at how beautiful the restored river is´´ is irrelevent and cannot be cited. That said, I think the article is in much better shape after all your changes have been made, the only exception being its floridity.
