Content[edit]

Not very much content. What game are we talking about?

Facts/Consistency[edit]

The article contradicts itself as to the year of the Giants' founding. There might be other fallacies as well, but I merely skimmed the article. Gerk 21:14, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am concered that "Rick James" the baseball player links to "Rick James" the performer. I highly doubt they are the same person. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.234.167 (talk) 18:47, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

clean up spelling / grammar[edit]

i dont really have the inclination right now, but there's some spelling/grammar cleanup needed here. Themindset 15:53, 11 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

naming[edit]

-- Shouldn't it be "Kyojin" - I just asked the Japanese at the table next to me, and they said "kyojin"... Osakadave 17:44, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Games against American teams?[edit]

Have the giants ever played against any American teams?Andrew zot 15:00, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why are these two articles mashed together?[edit]

Why on Earth is the article for "the Bourne Identity" combined with an article about a Japanese baseball team? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.119.104.164 (talk)

Someone vandalized Template:Infobox baseball team so that every article that used the infobox got the Bourne Identity article at the top of the page. I was confused for a moment. --Ytny (talk) 20:17, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Giants orangeblack NY.gif[edit]

Image:Giants orangeblack NY.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Accuracy about this claim about the Brooklyn Dodgers?[edit]

The article claims that "New York's third team, which would eventually be called the Dodgers, lacked an official nickname at the time", however, the game in question took place in 1935 and the sources I see say that the Dodgers nickname was officially adopted in 1933. Is there verification for this claim? Wasianpower (talk) 18:18, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
