Is there a reason Wikipedia has this article under the name "Bakely"? The baseball sources I have use "Bakley," including the Baseball-Reference source in the article, and the Find-a-Grave source uses "Bakeley," although with a picture of a baseball card that uses "Bakley", and that source also has the same person under "Bakley" [1]. Is there a reliable source that "Bakely" is the correct spelling? Rlendog (talk) 22:44, 30 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
- It's because Baseball-Reference did have his name as "Bakely" until recently, but that site does change 19th-century spellings from time to time as they find out more information. The Baseball Page and Fangraphs actually still spell it "Bakely", but you're right that the other sources like Find-a-Grave, Baseball Almanac, and Retrosheet spell it "Bakley". We should change the name. - PM800 (talk) 00:14, 31 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
