Gaslamp Ball Wiki

So, even though I've been around here for right around a year, seeing all the references in the "You know you're a Gaslamp Baller if ..." fanpost made me realize how much I still don't know about all the inside jokes or references on here.

Since it seemed everyone had a blast reliving a lot of old memories and subjects, I went ahead and created a Gaslamp Ball Wiki site and it can be updated by any of you as you see fit.  I figured anyone would have a blast writing about the members of Gaslamp Ball and rehashing/reliving the good times from here.

I populated a list of GLB members, players, people and inside jokes that I gathered from the Baller thread.  I leave it up to you guys to add more and populate the pages.

If you've ever used Wikipedia, this should be pretty familiar (albeit far less reverent).  I hope this takes off and you have fun with it.

Enough babbling, go to the Gaslamp Ball Wiki!

This FanPost was written by a member of the Gaslamp Ball community and does not necessarily reflect the views of the Gaslamp Ball managers or SB Nation.

A good frame of reference

Would be the other recommended diary below this one – lots of good tid bits in there along with some old timers (like me) popping in. I haven’t got enough to play Wiki right now, but it would be fun to dust off some old memories.

Lesse – if I joined twitter in June 2007 because of Dex….that means that I joined GLB back in 2006 I think? What year were the Uncle Barry sweepstakes? Off season between 05-06 or 06-07? My original name was Section231Row1 thanks to our then season tickets which we got the year Petco opened. We would regularly see TheRevRun and his wife since he was working there.

Hey everybody!

This page is a year in review for 2007 made by Drama. It has links to the original of TONS of GLB memes. Use it for ideas.

Unfortunately, the links are all broken or unlinked or something. Maybe jbox or dex can fix it.

Ok... it's editable again...

Looks like they were just making some formatting changes and it locked everyone out for a bit.

by theodore donald kerabatsos on Mar 25, 2010 3:25 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yep. I locked everything out as I was making the formatting changes

I knew they would take a while so I didn’t want to be stepping over someone (nor did I want anyone messing up my work), so I locked the page. It’s unlocked now and all is good to go again.

I added an extension that allows an article's content to be embedded in another page

This adds the ability to have the same content in different locations where you might see fit. There is an explanation and usage guidelines on the Talk:Main_Page page

it would be nice to have the wiki on its own domain

gaslampwiki.com and gaslampballwiki.com are available

they might allow you to do that or

2010 Season

I added a page to the Wiki for the 2010 season. I figured we could use this to document the season as it progresses. I put in a little text but now I turn to the community to make changes as they see fit.

http://glbwiki.creanium.net/wiki/2010_San_Diego_Padres_Season

by creanium on Mar 29, 2010 9:30 AM PDT reply actions  

It already looks like that page has been abused.

The season is being documented before it progresses. Chris Young is written to have already started the home opener. He easily could be on the DL before then.

No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Only because CY was written to have started, which is not true

Garland was written to have been announced as the opening day starter. That is true and always will be.

Oh wait

I read it wrong. Yeah, I thought it said he was announced as the opening day starter, not that he was the opening day starter.

That whole wiki entry is effed up. Somebody needs to fix it. Or just remove all the content because it looks dumb the way it is.

And yes, CY could be injured between now and then

But I think there’s just as likely a chance of that happening as there is Garland getting injured between now and opening day.
