The bit under the history heading about the band managing their busy schedules seems irrelevant and at least could be expanded on. It would perhaps also be crucial to add information about Lukens managing his mental illness[1] in the time before their release of "MoBo Present: The Perfect Cast"[2] . Could update this article to include information about the Holy Ghost tour[3] with Thin Lips and Joyce Manor. Camdiagonale (talk) 23:48, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
There's also no source for the fact that they named their band after the book "Modern Baseball Techniques". It's also very troubling that this article does not list their EPs. Camdiagonale (talk) 23:56, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: moved. Cases like this are exactly what WP:DIFFCAPS is for. There is very little policy-based opposition to this move, and nobody has shown that the capitalization difference isn't enough to differentiate the two subjects, especially when "modern baseball" as a term referring to the sport does not have a particular meaning that can be picked out, and when it's a term that's used somewhat infrequently.

Oppose In the past 12 months, this page has had a total of 11 page views, less than 1 per month. If a reader searches for "modern baseball", with any capitalization, it's overwhelmingly more probable that they're looking for information about the sport than about this obscure band. CodeTalker (talk) 14:55, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nomination and Roman Spinner. As I noted above, the band received 116k pageviews last year. That's enough to make me think that anyone searching with capitals wants the band, not a disambiguation page with only one other thing on it (that isn't even explicitly titled "Modern Baseball"). A hatnote works well enough. Nohomersryan (talk) 20:09, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support reversion of this undiscussed move (this should have been a technical request). There is no other article titled Modern Baseball, or "modern baseball" for that matter. In fact, modern baseball has been averaging only 2 hits per day while Modern Baseball is getting 280.[1] Almost no one is searching for "modern baseball", with or without caps, expecting a baseball article. A hatnote is more than enough. Station1 (talk) 20:19, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support. This should have been a technical request, per above. The burden is on the person who wants the page controversially moved, not this way around. As it stands, all this new move does is add a small disambiguation page, that isn't really disambiguating much. Clearly, the band is the primary topic for "Modern Baseball" per views. --Quiz shows22:26, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Agree with editors In ictu oculi, CodeTalker and Necrothesp. The band should keep its dab qualifier, "(band)", and the dab page should remain per WP:TWODABS. No way should the band be the primary topic at the base name, no way. P.I. Ellsworth , ed.put'er there12:29, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I'm not convinced that "modern baseball" is a term that has a coherent, regularly used meaning in relation to the sport. A look at History of baseball in the United States suggests a variety of plausible start dates for "modern baseball" – is it 1845, when the first team to play baseball under modern rules was established? Is it 1876, when the National League was established? Is it some time after the dead-ball era? The Google Books results are similarly inconsistent: did modern baseball begin with the Federal League's emergence in 1913, the Black Sox scandal of 1919, or within the past twenty years? By contrast, the band "Modern Baseball" has a clear and specific definition – and, as shown by Nohomersryan above, that subject is sought by thousands of readers. The hatnote proposed by Roman Spinner is more than sufficient for clarification. Finally, I will emphasize WP:DIFFCAPS, which is policy and which further supports the proposed move.
