Hall of fame[edit]

Another editor has added a claim that Wambsganss is in the hall of fame. However the Baseball Hall of fame website does not list him as an inductee. There is also no reference to the AAGPBL being inducted. Please can you find some references before adding it back. noq (talk) 19:32, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If the HoF site doesn't show him, he's not in. He's only "in the Hall of Fame" in the sense that he made a highly notable achievement. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 22:17, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Date of Death[edit]

This article gives December 10, however, Baseball Almanac and Baseball Reference both give 12-8 Thisdaytrivia (talk) 05:39, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Succession" reference[edit]

SPOILER AHEAD. The show "Succession" names a major character "Wambsgans" in a pretty definitive nod to Bill Wambsganss. Tom Wambsgans, in the series finale, successfully pulls of a "triple-play" of his own by defeating the three Roy children. Should probably be mentioned here as a pop-culture reference? 73.192.117.23 (talk) 12:33, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Does this pop culture reference receive significant coverage in independent reliable sources? I am not that familiar with the show. Larry Hockett (Talk) 14:48, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Was Tom Wambsgans a Reference to Bill Wambsganss? - The New York Times (nytimes.com) 73.192.117.23 (talk) 18:11, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, of course. LH was right that we need to wait for enough RS to note it or for the showrunners to confess to the particular point. — LlywelynII 23:32, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I like the idea of this being included. 12.183.71.3 (talk) 19:44, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
