I'd like to start a discussion about what we use as his birthplace for accuracy. Currently we seem to use the county of Middlesex. Now, Middlesex hasn't legally existed since the London Government Act 1963 came into force in 1965 when it was mostly adsorbed into Greater London. Unless he was born before 1965 (which he wasn't), it is incorrect to say he was born in Middlesex (even if MLB say it). Of course, not all Middlesex did become part of London but we have this source and this one that affirms he was born in London so this is what we should be using for his birthplace. @Spanneraol:The C of E God Save the King!

MLB.com and baseball reference, the two sources we primarily use for info box listings both use Middlesex... I see no reason to go against them in this instance. Spanneraol (talk) 17:57, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
