Comments

Per WP:YEAR, 1973–75.
"which ended at age 26 because of arm and shoulder injuries" and "he retired from baseball at age 26." ending the first and second para, somewhat repetitive.
"Oddly enough, ..." not encyclopedic.
Suddenly, you reference a couple of sentences at the end of the lead but none of the rest of it. Why?
Texas Rangers is a WP:DAB link.
So is perfectionist.
"18-0" should be 18–0, but what does that mean to a non-expert like me, I'm guessing it means he played in 18 games and the team won all of the them?
Publications like Sports Illustrated should be italicised.
"some of whom billed Clyde as the "next Sandy Koufax"" some? Or just one in particular?
Eastern League is a dab link too.
Hall of Famer - which HoF?
"35,000+" -> over 35,000 fans.
"a rusty beginning" a little colloquial for an encyclopedia.
If you link strike out, I'd link home run.
After saying "earned run average" put (ERA) so when you then use the abbreviation on its own, it'll be clear what it means.
" with 3-9 record" a 3–9 record.
Check the other records.
"18-33 win-loss" 18–33 win–loss record.
"sensation[6][12]," refs after punctuation, quotes in quote marks.
"due in part because of" due to, not due because of.
"the New York Times" that's The New York Times.
" ex teammate" ex-teammate
Category for Sacramento Solos, I don't read anything about that in the article.

A few items to address so I'll put the item on hold for a week. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:28, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
