Comment: It's a baseball oddity

Article is new and long enough. Earwig has nothing, sourcing looks good, references are solid. Hook is sourced, and is interesting (an oddity to say the least). Good to go pending QPQ completion. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 04:34, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@PCN02WPS: QPQ complete. And I added "baseball" to the hook to be clear I'm not pulling trickery with it being a golf game or what have you. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:25, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea, the hook does sound clearer. Good to go! PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 20:41, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
