Sisko plays baseball with Vulcan team

FOUND ON YOUTUBE: Sisko plays baseball with Vulcan team

No, Benjamin Sisko didn't play baseball with a Vulcan team; he played baseball against a Vulcan team.

It's a small difference, but it's important to me. He played baseball with players on the DS9 team.

Bird of Prey's

FOUND ONLINE: Enterprise attacked by ten Romulan Bird of Prey's

I found this on YouTube. Believe it or not, it would be 10 Birds of Prey, similar to mothers-in-law or attorneys general. Also, you don't need an apostrophe.

FROM YOUTUBE: Commander in chiefs

I have to wonder if commanders in chief would be better (WINK).

You don't need an "s" on aircraft to make it plural. Aircraft is already singular and plural.
