[edit] Rededicated portion of I-70?
I'm surprised that nobody mentioned the fact that part of I-70 through Kansas City was renamed in Brett's honor. If I could remember the exact phrasing, I'd have added it myself. :) Also might be worth mentioning that St. Louis was SO sure they were going to take the 1985 World Series (The "I-70 Series" coincedentally) that pre-printed World Champions T-shirts were made, and had to be pulled off shelves when the Royals won! --JohnDBuell | Talk 19:26, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Sections
This page is kinda hard to read, it might need to be divided up someday. Sigma995 21:32, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
- I agree. The text should be organized into sections with headings and subheadings. The grammar is also sloppy, so a good proofreading is in order. I'm adding a cleanup tag. SmartGuy 17:08, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Matthew Modine relationship
I was informed on my talk page that Brett and Modine are not cousins, and it turns out the only place where it's mentioned is on the IMDB biography of Modine, so seeing as it's only from one source, I'll take that out now. howcheng {chat} 06:46, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Brett's Hemorrhoid History
What happened in the 1980 series is misstated all over the net. The statement that the day after pulling himself out of Game 2 with hemorrhoid pain, "Brett had to have surgery to remove hemorrhoids" isn't, and couldn't be, correct, given that he returned in Game 3 the day after (and homered!). He had a minor procedure done on the off-day, presumably to relieve the pain. Then in the spring of 1981 he had his hemorrhoids removed (a "hemorrhoidectomy"), a thoroughly disabling procedure, and missed over two weeks of Spring training. When I get my refs straight, I'll fix it. Brett's reality is heroic enough without this...JoshFisher
