To improve this biographical article a starting point would be to add: place of birth, education (high school and beyond), military service, early (pre-baseball prospectus) career history, current place of residence. After that, more information highlighting the substance, method, and impact of Carroll's books and other writings (beyond just the titles as listed) and other writings. I recognize the award for his book but what did the book contribute?--Mack2 (talk) 19:46, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Will: if you read this, since you are not the author of the article I think you can supply the basic information here if you wish, and either I or someone else can add it to the article. Anything that's "documentable" would also help.--Mack2 (talk) 19:59, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
