De-prod'd by Alex, I held off on AfD until the list became more manageable. This is another minor league player and manager with no significant coverage or notability. Winning minor league championships does not make one notable – Muboshgu (talk) 17:42, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

- Keep - According to [http://books.google.com/books?id=eavwlRve2BYC&pg=PA25&dq=joe+macko&hl=en&ei=HHa5Tp_WG4Tz0gGA-62_Cw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=10&ved=0CGAQ6AEwCQ#v=onepage&q=joe%20macko&f=false this book] he served as a coach for the Chicago Cubs in 1964, which I think would give him presumed notability. In addition, he is not just "another minor league" player, but one with significant time at the highest levels, and who was apparently at one time among the top 10 all time in minor league home runs [http://books.google.com/books?id=AjQDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA14&dq=joe+macko&hl=en&ei=HHa5Tp_WG4Tz0gGA-62_Cw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=9&ved=0CFwQ6AEwCA#v=onepage&q=joe%20macko&f=false] (note that BD later claimed that this list was outdated and gave an updated list [http://books.google.com/books?id=MDIDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA12&dq=joe+macko&hl=en&ei=8Xi5Tpa3EcLu0gGWjbm_Cw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CDIQ6AEwADgK#v=onepage&q=joe%20macko&f=false here]), and a member of the Texas League hall of fame [http://www.minorleaguebaseball.com/league1/page.jsp?ymd=20100302&content_id=8648734&vkey=league1_l109&fext=.jsp&sid=l109].

- Keep. Significant accomplishments as a minor league player, manager and executive... plus his involvement with the Cubs College of Coaches in 1964. Spanneraol (talk) 18:53, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
