A fact from Shanty Hogan appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 19 December 2008, and was viewed approximately 784 times (

Why were the billings reversed in Boston? Because Hogan had played there? Don’t drop interesting trivia like that without some kind of explanation, please! —

As the person who wrote the article, I didn't add an explanation because the source didn't provide it. I'm not sure why they were billed as "Cohen and Hogan" in the first place, but my supposition was that the article implied that the billing was shifted because Hogan was Irish and from Boston. As this is entirely supposition on my part, I couldn't add that to the article.
