... that Clarence McGeary was a football player, coach, wrestled with Bronko Nagurski, owned bowling alleys with Rocky Marciano, founded the Federation of Christian Athletes and was given a Purple Heart? Source: https://www.newspapers.com/article/green-bay-press-gazette/133631055/ Purple Heart], Marciano, player, Nagurski, federation, coach
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Solar eclipse of November 22, 1900
- Comment: There are a bunch of possibilities with this; McGeary played football, coached football, owned bowling alleys with Marciano, wrestled with Nagurski, played basketball, owned marinas, worked insurance, served 47 World War II missions + Purple Heart, founded the Federation of Christian Athletes and was an announcer, but I can't fit all that into a hook.

to late to be eligible to the first "to" should be "too"
He returned to the Bison in 1948 and played end. He moved from end to center in the 1949 season. probably an opportunity to combine these two sentences to soften up the short, choppiness
Fargo, North Dakota need a comma after North Dakota
but choose to remain -> "chose"
Bismarck, North Dakota need a comma after North Dakota
