Talk:Doug Allison

From BR Bullpen

The text about his war service may have been taken from a Boston Globe article. Here is what a SABR report says about it, throwing it into question: " . . . an article (was found) in the Boston Globe on March 24, 1876, in which his deafness was attributed to his Civil War service . . . Since Allison's regiment saw no combat duty, this account must be taken with a grain of salt . . ." - from the Civil War Veterans Who Played Major League Baseball Research Project. - Randy 22:48, 24 February 2008 (EST)

We should note this on his page. - --Mischa 08:40, 25 February 2008 (EST)
