Talk:Gil Vidrio
BR Minors gives his birthplace as Fontaine, BE. I assume BE is Belgium but can't find a Fontaine, Belgium. - --Mischa 11:45, 30 May 2011 (EDT)
There's a Fontaine-l'Évêque in Belgium [1]. --Philippe 13:03, 30 May 2011 (EDT)
Did Belarus even exist in 1950? I thought it would be USSR. Also, I can't find any Fontaine in Belarus. - --Mischa (talk) 14:00, 23 July 2015 (EDT)
Belarus was a republic of the USSR. Alex (talk) 14:02, 23 July 2015 (EDT)
This article says he was from Fontaine, Belgium, presumably the place Philippe found, not Belarus. - --Mischa (talk) 14:06, 23 July 2015 (EDT)
Oh, duh. It is Belgium. I went by what The Baseball Cube said, but Belgium is listed on his BR page. Whoops. Alex (talk) 14:09, 23 July 2015 (EDT)
On the Belarus thing, it's easy to confuse Belgium (BEL) and Belarus (BLR). --Philippe (talk) 04:53, 24 July 2015 (EDT)
