baseball fans not players[edit]

So ballhawk page currently includes "(baseball) A fielder who is particularly good at catching fly balls."
and fielder page includes "2. (baseball, softball) A defensive player in the field.",
BUT the two examples (in ballhawk page) of baseball ballhawks are both fans (ie. not fielders nor players)
1) "Moe Mullins" (where https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Moe_Mullins says he is a "Collector" who attended games, with NO mention of him being a member of a baseball team), and
2) "a noted ballhawk named Wes Wagner scored tickets in the first row of the bleacher boxes in right field.".
Maybe change definition from "fielder" TO "fan" (or "attendee")? --EarthFurst (talk) 20:00, 24 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Plus there also Zack Hample with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zack_Hample saying "is an American baseball collector."/"He hires his own videographers to document some of his ballhawking exploits." But i did a Google search for ballhawk and did get results for athletes also being ballhawks. So maybe ADD attendee ballhawk definition to wiktionary ballhawk page. --EarthFurst (talk) 20:01, 25 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
