Baseball assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Dave Van Horne/Comments (baseball), and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

This article is incorrect.

This article says that Dave Van Horne left the Montreal Expos in 2000 to join the Marlins, that is incorrect.

For the 2000 season, the Montreal Expos failed to negotiate a contract with the English speaking radio broadcasts, so for the 2000 season. Thus Dave Van Horne did not have a job for the 2000 season.

Prior to the 2000 season, John Henry, the owner of the Marlins, announced that he would make Dave O'Brien the number One broadcaster, over the original voice of the Marlins, Joe Angel, but honored Joe Angel's contract through the end of the 2000 season.

Dave Van Horne joined the Marlins for the 2001 season, not the 2000 season, to take the place of Dave 'Brien as the radio announcer for the Marlins, after Joe Angel's contract expired.
