Basically, there are several former River Bandits players who are playing on the Cardinals right now (Shelby Miller, Trevor Rosenthal, Joe Kelly, etc). How many MLB games does a guy need to play before he is a "notable player"? Can Brett Wallace be added now? He's played 224 MLB games. Help me understand where to draw the line here. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/50.81.0.28|50.81.0.28]] ([[User talk:50.81.0.28|talk]]) 04:07, 26 September 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

What is the capacity of their home stadium? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kendanielone (talkcontribs) .

4,024. See John O'Donnell Stadium. --Iowahwyman 19:10, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"128-year history"?

The citation for this claim leads to a registration-only website, so I'm deleting it. But the claim itself is suspect: the team's website refers to several years when the area had no team, or when a new team moved there. So how old exactly is this particular franchise? --Chancemichaels 13:44, 13 August 2007 (UTC)Chancemichaels[reply]

Just to confirm - this team was started in 1960. The deleted "128 years" referred to the entirety of minor league baseball in Davenport. That should be clear in the article now. --Chancemichaels 17:41, 14 August 2007 (UTC)Chancemichaels[reply]


Question: What constitutes a "Notable" Player?

Basically, there are several former River Bandits players who are playing on the Cardinals right now (Shelby Miller, Trevor Rosenthal, Joe Kelly, etc). How many MLB games does a guy need to play before he is a "notable player"? Can Brett Wallace be added now? He's played 224 MLB games. Help me understand where to draw the line here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.81.0.28 (talk) 04:07, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure of specific criteria guidelines. Personally I think appearing in 1 major league game makes you notable; also if they have an article on here. CTF83! 09:57, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Baseball notability guidelines also say 1 MLB game. CTF83! 10:00, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
