From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

Apologies for the multiple edits on a single line... forgot to hit the preview button when doing my minor edits. BC19

What's wrong with the extra snippet of info on Mays? I squeezed in one out two deleted sentences. Is that one setence too redundant?--BC19 20:43, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Does the info have a trek source? Tyrant 20:47, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)Tyrant
  • ah ha... gotcha. Understood. I wasn't grasping how close to the source references you were taking things. I take it you have more leeway when it comes to actors pages vs. character pages correct? Anyhoo I figured if a 24th century guy like Ben could be so into Mays as a player 400 years after fact... I guessed he's still considered a great player to those people who like baseball. I'll delete it.--BC19 20:52, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Removed comment

Removed the following as speculative unless cited:

The baseball player Willie Hawkins, whom Captain Sisko envisioned in his "Benny Russell" vision in DS9: "Far Beyond the Stars", is so strikingly similar to Mays (he plays the same position at the same time for the same team, and references contemporaries of Mays) that it is possible Hawkins is simply a version of Mays imagined by Sisko for the vision.--31dot 18:26, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
