On first pass this looks good, and I don't anticipate any serious problems for promotion. I've made some tweaks and small changes as I went; let me know if you object to any or feel free to just revert. There's also two points below I'd like your thoughts on. More checks to come later. Thanks again for this contribution-- Khazar2 (talk) 14:28, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
" In March, he signed with the Philadelphia" -- this is a bit confusing. He was traded to them but also signed with them? Perhaps I just don't know how player transactions worked in older baseball.
Thank you for the review so far, and I do appreciate the changes you've made. I made a couple changes myself, including the the second point you made above. On the first point, before 1975, the reserve clause was in effect, so every MLB player's right were owned by the team they played with the previous season, and the vast-majority of players only played under one-year contracts. So what was being traded was his rights, he then had to negotiate his one-year contract with the Phillies.Neonblaktalk - 16:50, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Not a GA action point, but you might consider just eliminating the header "in popular culture" to allow both of those short sections to become one (his name reappearing fits logically into "post-baseball life"). Technically WP:LAYOUT discourages short sections, but there aren't an excessive number here to become a problem under the GA criteria. -- Khazar2 (talk) 14:43, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
