I think this article has two Ray Van Cleef's mixed up. If he was born in 1911 (ish), then he would have won the College World Series MVP at 39. Not out of the question, but he'd be about 20 years older than most other winners. TridentMan123 (talk) 11:37, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the Rutgers baseball player is Raymond E. Van Cleef Jr. He played minor league baseball briefly and then coached at Sul Ross State University. See:

TridentMan123, what sources on the article are you saying mention this other Ray Van Cleef? Psychologist Guy (talk) 02:17, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Psychologist Guy, all references to the Rutgers baseball Van Cleef have been removed now. But if you look back at the article history, you can see them. Jweiss11 (talk) 03:01, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
