Delete. Undecided about notability, but so far this fails WP:V. Possible hoax. Pburka (talk) 22:58, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:V. Tragic but unverifiable bio of a AA-level minor league baseball player. I could not find sources to verify any of it. • Gene93k (talk) 23:35, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, borderline speedy. I came up empty for anything. Even TheDeadballEra has nothing. Considering closing and deleting this already. Wizardman 23:38, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as probable hoax. No record of him as a MiLB player at www.baseball-reference.com or baseball cube; gnews doesn't come up with this person, nor does a gsearch.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 23:38, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as hoax - According to the Trenton Thunder article we have, the club was not a Yankees affiliate in 1991-92. Add the lack of sources and it smells like a hoax. Giants2008 (talk) 02:43, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete as hoax Why do people do this??? If a minor league player died in the 1990's, I would likely have been aware of it, as I am a sabermetrician who has studied minor league baseball since the early 1980's. However, I have never heard of Dave Breen. Also, minor league players are not generally given nicknames like "The M.V.P.". The Yankees 15th Round pick in 1991 was Steven Munda, not Dave Breen. And yes, as Giants2008 says, the Yankees AA affiliate was Albany-Colonie, not Trenton. The author of the article has made no other Wikipedia contributions.
