[edit] Name

"Grover Cleveland" was not his real name, Pete was, therefore it is only proper that the nickname appear in quotes...yes? vudu 23:48, 25 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Grover Cleveland is his real name, after the president. 'Pete' is the nickname.User:Varitek

Can you validate that? I've seen references going either way. vudu 16:08, 26 Nov 2003 (UTC)

[1] [2] [ http://z.lee28.tripod.com/sbnslegends/id24.html]. I don't believe I've ever seen anything suggesting that Grover Cleveland was the nickname. Varitek 00:24, 27 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Well, color me red. I stand corrected. Thanks for the validation. vudu 04:02, 27 Nov 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Honored Americans Project

Can anyone check out the Honored Americans project at Talk:George Washington?? Is this person an honor of Grover Cleveland?? Calmypal is gone, and somebody needs to start putting more in. No one has added Grover Cleveland in this project yet; can anyone do so?? 66.245.86.226 15:36, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Drink and Lazzeri

It's often written thay Alexander had been drinking in the bullpen when called upon to strike out Lazzeri. Is there any documentary evidence for this legend? -- GWO

I've read that myself, although I don't know where. I'll look into it. Darwin's Bulldog 07:02, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
