There has been a reporting error regarding the date of death of Tom Tresh. He actually died on Wednesday morning (the 15th) at the age of 70 -- a misprint of his birth year on some baseball cards has caused confusion on his age. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.243.188.44 ( talk) 14:57, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Correct - this stems from an error with the Yankees records which has really spread around and grown out of control. 1938 is Tom's correct birth year. FABombjoy ( talk) 13:42, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
every single source that I have gone to says 1937.--

I know, it's amazing how a simple clerical error can propagate. However, as one of his children, I can assure you that he was born in 1938. FABombjoy ( talk) 14:16, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
I don't care so much about the above OR, but the NY Times obit did say he was 70, which makes it 1938. - Seidenstud ( talk) 18:15, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
MLB.com lists his birthdate as September 20, 1937. Isaac Lin ( talk) 15:07, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
The last line of the first paragraph is vague: what distinction is it talking about? Of being a new Yankee shortstop replacing someone in the service? It is hard to argue that Tresh was more distinguished in general as a ballplayer than Tony Kubek. — Preceding
