Not to be confused with Judge McCredie[edit]

There is a SABR project that confuses Walt(er) McCredie with his uncle Judge William Wallace McCredie. Judge McCredie bought the Portland Beavers of the Pacific Coast League. Walt was already playing for the team and was announced as the team's player-manager. EdJF (talk) 18:57, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
