Intro Music?

Could someone add information on the music Brian enters the game to (if he is accompanied by music)? In fact, that seems like something that should be standard on all closer's pages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.176.255.115 (talk) 18:55, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I realize this is an old comment, but the intro music of closers, or any pitcher, is highly irrelevant. --Muboshgu (talk) 02:49, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On Jay Leno, he said it is an acknowledgement to both his God and his father, who died when he was a teenager, I believe. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 20:20, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Birthplace confusion

Under the main header, Wilson's birthplace is listed as "Londonderry, NH" (supported by yahoo sports) whereas the info bar on the right of the column cites "Winchester, MA" (as supported by mlb.com). Regards. Mercjfr (talk) 14:35, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"The Machine"

It seems like a lot of space is devoted to "The Machine" in this article. Not sure if this is really warranted. But ok. However, the reference that The Machine is a character in the "S&M" and "Snuff" film 8mm is a) incorrect and b) defamatory. 8mm is a major Hollywood movie starring Nicolas Cage, not an S&M and certainly not a "snuff" film. It deals with its subject matter in a serious and thoughtful manner; it is not an exploitation film. The plot of 8mm does deal with characters who themselves are engaged in the demi-monde of nuff films, and there is a character known as "Machine". But the article as written suggests that Wilson is referencing the actual world of snuff films, and finding them funny. And that is defamatory. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.231.240.151 (talk) 04:19, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
