This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Richard Cooke (February 17, 2020). "Wikipedia Is the Last Best Place on the Internet". Wired. Retrieved February 27, 2020. Editors' passions can drive the site deep into inconsequential territory—exhaustive detailing of dozens of different kinds of embroidery software, lists dedicated to bespectacled baseball players, a brief but moving biographical sketch of Khanzir, the only pig in Afghanistan.

Article should not be a list off all players with glasses

Now that the result of the previous Afd is keep, I believe the article should be converted from a general list of all players with glasses, to an article about the history of glasses and corrective vision in baseball.

Glasses Half Full says "By the end of the 1970s, the wearing of glasses and contact lenses had become commonplace—so much so that they practically ceased to bring attention to themselves." It would be unfortunate if this ended up being nothing more than a huge trivia list of players with glasses.

Black players in baseball has a list, List of first black Major League Baseball players by team and date, but does not have an exhaustive list of all blacks in baseball. Glasses should not be an exception. This article would become more encyclopedic if it dealt with trends on glasses, contacts, etc in baseball and only mentioned specific notable players who were pioneers. —Bagumba (talk) 19:03, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
