[edit] Stadium
AFAIK, their home was called Yellow Jacket Field--I've seen it on an old map somewhere. There is a "Frankford Community Memorial Stadium", where the FYJ played one game in their last season after their home field burned down--it's now the home field of Frankford High School (I live 1/2 block away!). The "Ghosts of the Gridiron" web site is a good source, seems pretty authoritative. I've seen that "Frankford Stadium" page--I'd question it, or ask for citations.--BillFlis 22:53, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
- OK, I looked it up here: http://ghosts.footballhistory.org/stadiums.htm , a link that got deleted from the Frankford Stadium article. Seems that Frankford Stadium and Yellow Jacket Field are the same.--BillFlis 22:58, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
- However, it would be nice to know which name is the official name and which is the "AKA" name.--BillFlis 01:37, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
- In all of my research it was always call Frankford Stadium. Looking at some maps that have been sent to me DiSimone is currently on the grounds of the Frankford Avenue side and the field stretched down into what is now Harbison Avenue. Charles Street is said to sit on now what was the 50 yards line. If you were to goto the area you should see a diffrence in the houses.--brianharris08:56, 8 October 2006
[edit] Notable players
The "Hall of Famers" section is pathetically short. How about replacing it with a section titled "Notable players"? I would add Mort Kaer (College HOF). I'll look for others.--BillFlis 13:14, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- Nominees for notable players: Bill Kelly (football) (College HOF), Nate Barragar (four-time All Pro), Charley "Pie" Way (All Pro), Ray Richards (later a coach), Herb Joesting.--BillFlis 15:02, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
"Hall of Famers"IanBlade 11:08, 8 November 2006 (UTC) I would keep the Hall of Fame players just as they are since that is what they are, NFL Hall of Famers. Now for notable players I would like to include Henry "Two Bits" Homan and Bull Behman who were the longest playing Yellow Jackets.
