Conflicting dates of birth

mlb.com lists his year of birth as 1927 while baseball-reference.com lists is at 1928. I left the 1928 year as I found it, but placed a note directing editors to this discussion. Bob305 (talk) 01:39, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Career statistics from MLB, or Baseball Reference, or Baseball Reference (Minors), or Retrosheet

Social Security death record for Bob confirms his year of birth was 1927. Bob's headstone also says 1927. 2601:401:8280:A6A0:4919:C0B2:9619:6379 (talk) 05:46, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
