"proper grammar to put the comma"?

In this edit of yours you undid my edits to take out commas not normally used in baseball players' names. You might be right that it should not be a question of what they use or prefer. But Grammar Girl tells me that it is also not a question of proper grammar: . Can you reconsider? I'm a newbie, and I don't see a section in the manual of style about this.

It's actually an issue of wp:commonname, I would think. See this timely discussion here. --Epeefleche (talk) 23:16, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
After doing some research it seems like the rules are changing.. it used to be mandatory to use the comma, now it seems optional... but I see no reason to be changing the pages as the page name should match the name you are changing... Where are you getting the "they dont usually use the comma" stuff anyway? Jerry Hairston, Jr. uses the comma on his twitter page . Spanneraol (talk) 23:26, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
