It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):

Prose is OK, probably a 6/10. It is let down by the heavy use of jargon and statistics which makes it hard for someone who knows little about baseball (like me) to understand. Its not an essential problem at GA, but I recommend simplying the text where possible.

It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):

I'd like to see more about his parentage and young childhood: where was he born etc. Some information about his early years appears in the lead but is not expanded on below, consider expanding this in the appropriate sections. More on his personal life to expand that section would also be useful.--Jackyd101 (talk) 17:54, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It follows the neutral point of view policy.
a (fair representation): b (all significant views):
It is stable.
It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
a (tagged and captioned): b (lack of images does not in itself exclude GA): c (non-free images have fair use rationales):

Images are fine, but consider thinning out the gallery of images at the end, or maybe even removing it entirely.--Jackyd101 (talk) 17:54, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
