Since this conversation hasn't generated much discussion or any controversy, and I have the time today, I will go ahead and begin some of these changes. If someone would like to assist, I would welcome that. The ones I marked with ++ will need someone with move rights than I don't have (I think).Neonblak talk - 17:43, 11 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • Support all the moves suggested by Neonblak. Although I have no memory of doing it, it seems that I moved this page to that title (albeit without the comma) six years ago, and someone improperly moved it here in the interim. -Dewelar (talk) 17:28, 9 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Old Bob Smith

edit

I came across a 1936 baseball article tonight where Smith was referred to as old Bob Smith (emphasis mine).[1] Was the use of the word old commonly used by sportswriters of that era to distinguish him from a younger Bob Smith who was also playing at the same time?
