Conflicting year of birth edit
Sources disagree on Hunter's year of birth. Baseball-reference.com indicates 1935 while retrosheet.org indicates 1934. The article currently used 1935. Bob305 (talk) 15:57, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
- Career statistics and player information from MLB, or Baseball Reference, or Baseball Reference (Minors), or Retrosheet
- The discrepancy probably is due to this obituary which is probably for him. Since BR usually updates faster than Retrosheet, I changed the year to match BR. However, there seems to be some sort of error, because BR kept his day of birth as the 8th not the 18th which is what the obituary has. So either the obituary has a typo or BR missed that it says the 18th. To make things more confusing, Baseball Almanac still has his date of birth as March 8, 1934 but lists February 4th, 2021 as his date of death. Emk9 (talk) 09:10, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
