Throat Protector
[edit]The story behind the throat protector doesn't seem right, but I cannot find a reference to it anywhere else. I don't remember Yeager (or any catcher) ever wearing a catcher's mask with a throat protector while in the on-deck circle. What I do remember is that Yeager got nailed in the throat by a foul-tip that went over his glove in one of the World Series games (I cannot remember which one, but I know it was Yankees-Dodgers ... which doesn't exactly help narrow it down). He was *not* wearing a throat protector at the time, which does not coincide with the timing of its invention and use cited in this article (1976). However, he started wearing it very shortly thereafter -- may have even been for the subsequent games of this series -- along with many other catchers (and some umpires) in the following season. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nusumareta (talk • contribs) 21:53, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Combining sections
[edit]Surely you don't need a "life outside baseball" section and a "trivia" section. The statement that Steve's family were on Family Feud is in both sections.
- Agreed and addressed. --Epeefleche 06:07, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Jewish baseball players
[edit]The articles says:
- After his playing career, Yeager converted to Judaism. [1]
The cited source doesn't indicate when he converted, so I'm not sure the timing of the conversion in the article is correct. But if he only became Jewish after his career was over then does he properly belong in Category: Jewish baseball players. Does anyone know of a better source? Will Beback talk 04:46, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
