Talk:History of professional baseball in Milwaukee

Name?

I think it's time to consider renaming or splitting this article. The addition of the pre-1902 timeline pushes it over the edge for me: it's really not about the current club any longer, but about the "History of Milwaukee Baseball". Should it be renamed? Or the non-current-Milwaukee Brewer stuff be separated into its own article, titled along those lines? Thoughts? SixFourThree (talk) 18:55, 20 May 2008 (UTC)SixFourThree

It could be renamed as you suggest. The opening sentence explains that it's about Milwaukee professional baseball in general, not just the current club. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 22:46, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

That is, I believe, a relatively new addition. The title was somewhat suspect when it branched the two unrelated clubs named "Milwaukee Brewers", but now it's full-fledged about the city's history as a whole. The kicker is that I really think there should be a "History of the Milwaukee Brewers" article, so we can remove some of the overlap content from the main article, but this article is going too far afield. Maybe I'll just create a new one for the history as a whole and move the relevant sections of this article there. SixFourThree (talk) 14:04, 21 May 2008 (UTC)SixFourThree

There has been baseball in Milwaukee off and on since 1878, or 130 years. The current club's history is about 40 years worth. The article could be split if you want a more definitive or focused history of just the current club. Then the "Baseball in Milwaukee" article could contain a brief mention of the current club plus a link to the detailed history. If you want to bother with all of that instead of leaving it in a single article. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 14:38, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

As written, I agree with the rename for the time being. I will be moving it shortly. -- Dolotta (talk) 22:07, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
