From BR Bullpen

His BR minors page lists a birthdate of March 4, 1978. His SR Olympics page lists April 3, 1978. We have March 3. 69.68.238.142 15:49, 17 April 2009 (EDT)

Are there now BR minors pages for all Hoofdklasse players? - --Mischa 15:50, 17 April 2009 (EDT)

Seems to go back to 2005 [1]. 69.68.238.142 15:51, 17 April 2009 (EDT)

Actually, they only seem to have players who were active in 2008. 69.68.238.142 15:54, 17 April 2009 (EDT)

It's March 4. We're wrong. The "April 3" is a misreading of the European style (04-03-1978). - --Mischa 15:53, 17 April 2009 (EDT)

Interesting but very uneven about the Hoofdklasse players. For Diegomar Markwell, it shows his USA minor league years but only his 2008 season in the Netherlands. For Robert Eenhoorn, there are only his USA minor league years. - Randy 15:56, 17 April 2009 (EDT)

2008 Italian league players have pages as well:[2] 69.68.238.142 15:58, 17 April 2009 (EDT)

And the '07 Israeli League [3] 69.68.238.142 16:00, 17 April 2009 (EDT)

Perhaps the pages should be retitled "Minor AND FOREIGN LEAGUES" then, since I'm not aware of any European teams being given status as A, AA, or AAA leagues. - Randy 16:01, 17 April 2009 (EDT)

I think the theory is that if it ain't major, it's minor. They are all listed here: [4]. 69.68.238.142 16:04, 17 April 2009 (EDT)

Yeah but . . . . the Dutch Major League is major. It's not USA major, but it's their major league. - Randy 16:08, 17 April 2009 (EDT)

I agree that they are not classified as "minor leagues" by most definitions. I think non-US leagues works fine by me. I'm surprised they include Israel and not better leagues like Korea, Taiwan, Germany, France or Spain. - --Mischa 16:39, 17 April 2009 (EDT)
