  • I have fomatted citations, so they are clearer to understand. Also, I found one URL from Internet Archive. Nevertheless, some sources are inaccessible and may require purchase. All accessible sources verify the existence of this person's career, yet I don't see Latham in page 121 but in page 145 [1]. Maybe there must be any other page that consists of the start of Latham's coaching, but I don't know. Anyway, "with Kitty Bransfield and Otto Krueger for Del Howard" is not verified by fn 2, as I could not either name there. Some other parts need citations, as I could not see any other in fn 4. --George Ho (talk) 16:58, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the work on the citation. Latham isn't mentioned directly on p. 121, just that Seymour's actions led to the hiring of the coach who would be Latham. I added Seymour's SABR bio as a citation to more concretely link Latham to the Seymour-McCormick inciddent. The transaction is listed at the external link.[2] This article meets the DYK requirements for sourcing. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:07, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
  • I don't know; we are discussing a person who had a baseball career that had no television or internet in the past. Anyway, I'll leave it to someone else who is more experienced than I. I can help you find sources that explicitly verify the claims if I can. --George Ho (talk) 18:29, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
