Year of birth[edit]

There are conflicting years of birth. MLB.com, baseballcube, and fangraphs list 1920, and that year is reflected in the article. Baseball-reference.com lists 1919.

Rechecked today and noted that retrosheet.org also uses 1919. Bob305 (talk) 02:05, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Rechecked today and unchanged since my December 2018 post. I did check Find-A-Grave (although it is not a reliable source), and their picture of the grave marker indicated 1919.^[1] His obituary age (92) indicates a 1919 birth year.^[2] Therefore, on the basis of the 2 reliable sources (baseball-reference.com and retrosheet.org) and his obituary and the picture of his grave marker, I will be bold and change his birth year to 1919.
