Found an error[edit]

Brian actually attended Blue Springs High School in Blue Springs Missouri. He played both football & baseball. I know this because my stepbrother played on the same football team. Brian was 2 grades below me when I attended Blue Springs. I really don't have proof of this (unless I contact my stepbrother and acquire the yearbook from our alma mater) should I edit the article, or let it be since I have no proof of the fact?

Wow, looks like you might be right (which I guess you knew). Scout.com agrees - and I guess that links FL to MO. This has stumped quite a few people now that I search - Baseball-almanac.com (not a real stickler for accuracy) says he's from Blue Springs, FL, except I don't see that Blue Springs, FL even exists! I'd say go ahead and add it, and I'll clean it up and add a source for you (unless you want to do it yourself - you're more than welcome). —Wknight94 (talk) 19:53, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I taught Brain when he was in the sixth grade. He attended Martha B. King Middle School in Bradenton, FL. I met his dad at a PTA meeting. King Middle feeds to Manatee High. I moved away before he went to high school. It looks like he attended Manatee H.S. and then moved to Blue Springs.
