If you know what a figurative ballpark is, you know what this means. DCDuring TALK * Holiday Greetings! 18:38, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, but it does seem to be idiomatic. Anyone think that this is not idiomatic? Mglovesfun (talk) 14:18, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
- The first bad sign is that wiktionary comes up first on a websearch. The second bad sign is that no OneLook reference has even a redirect for it.
- I know that rules and consistency don't come easily for many, but what might the rule be for including this one? Some thought-starters:
- The inclusion of a figurative sense of one term in a multi-word entry.
- Not understanding the multi-word entry on sight.
- The entry having an erroneous definition worded to avoid the formerly operative CFI?
- Or is it just a case of "We don't need no stinkin' rules?" DCDuring TALK * Holiday Greetings! 15:19, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

- Delete The figurative meaning of ballpark is enough. We don't need the same ballpark, a slightly different ballpark, out of the ballpark, a (modifier) ballpark, or otherwise, in my opinion. TeleComNasSprVen 05:48, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
