Jose Cruz Forum

 These cards should be associated with Jose Cruz. http://tradingcarddb.com/Person.cfm/pid/1310/Jose-Cruz

There is no need to have a separate entry for him as "Jose Cruz Sr."

Actually it is better to have it as Jose Cruz Sr. because his son Jose Jr. played also and it would be easier to distinguish between them just like sandy Alomar Jr and Sr. Just being Jose Cruz could confuse those who don't know or aren't sure which one it is.

Personally, I'd prefer it without. Regardless, there are 3 cards listed here and 255 under his other listing. 

Re: Jr/Sr listings, I'm not sure there needs to be a uniform decision as to the parent, so long as the children are designated as Jr's. Cruz never went by Sr, as I recall. But his son played much later than he did. Ken Griffey and Cal Ripken both were involved in baseball at the same time as their sons, so the Sr designation was more important. Alomar could go either way.

Perhaps things like this could be solved with a redirect link. This could work for nicknames as well, i.e. Sparky Anderson, whose real name is George. 

Food for thought, I suppose. At any rate, I'd like to see these Cruz listings combined.

I agree having them combined will make it much simpler.

 I peronally like it how it is. But thats me.

I wouldn't mind seeing Giancarlo Stanton cards listed with his earlier Mike Stanton cards.  

I think they could leave it the way it is but when you go to the mike stanton cards it links right with the Giancarlo cards. That way the difference in name won't confuse and you can accurately see how many of his cards you do have.

Yes, but god forbid it show you the other Mike Stanton's cards. 

Actually there are 2 other Mike Stantons there besides Giancarlo.  The Mariners righty and the Braves lefty aren't the same guy.  So the Mike Stanton link brings up 3 different players grouped as one!

I think renaming the link "Giancarlo (Mike) Stanton" and putting all his cards there seems logical.  But I'm new and I'm sure everyone has already voiced their opinions on this, so certainly won't try to make an issue of it.

The Stanton's are fixed now.

Thanks,
