Unsure if this is notable enough for this baseballer to have an article based on the date of career and the absense of sources. The content is also just one sentence and two external links. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 20:21, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Field is covered in some detail by both David Nemec in The Rank and File and by Paul Batesel in Players and Teams of the NA, and mentioned in this book about Pud Galvin. Based on these sources, I believe he meets NBASIC, and in any case I don't think deleting this article would improve Wikipedia. Hatman31 (talk) 01:28, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. He played pro ball for 15 years, much of his career occurring before the formation of MLB. The sources describe him as "one of the best catchers of his time" and "one of the leading baseball players" of his section of the country. Moreover, the books referenced above (and now cited in the article) represent SIGCOV and demonstrate his enduring relevance. Cbl62 (talk) 02:57, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
