I'll take this one, will post review as soon as possible. Kosack (talk) 13:21, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

"Head-to-head games". More of a query, are there any other type of matches? Would games not suffice?
"knotted the record at an even 22 games apiece", is knotted a common term in baseball? I can't say I've ever heard it myself in this context but that could be a British/American thing.
- I changed both to more common terms. NatureBoyMD (talk) 19:42, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Previous Memphis and Nashville teams

Could perhaps link ejected to Ejection (sports).
- Done. NatureBoyMD (talk) 19:42, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redbirds vs. Sounds

"the Nashville Sounds joined the Triple-A Pacific Coast League", I'd add (PCL) after this first mention as its used in the following sentence without explanation.
- Done. NatureBoyMD (talk) 19:42, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

References

References from Newspapers.com will need the url-access=subscription field to notify users that it lies behind a paywall. A via=Newspapers.com would be worth including also I would say.
- I added "|via=Newspapers.com", but I'm not sure the paywall needs to be noted because I don't think it is behind a paywall. All of the Newspapers.com links are to clippings which can be freely viewed by anyone. I logged out of my account and checked. I can add the "url-access" field if needed, but it doesn't appear to be needed. Let me know. NatureBoyMD (talk) 19:42, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Overall, a high quality article. Very little to bring up, this is basically ready for promotion but I'll place it on hold for now while the points above addressed. Kosack (talk) 18:55, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Kosack: I've made several changes as noted above. I have one question about the Newspapers.com links which may still need to be addressed. NatureBoyMD (talk) 19:42, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You live and learn! I never knew the clippings were freely available. If they are, then there is no need for the subscription field. I'll take a quick go through again tomorrow but don't forsee any other issues. Kosack (talk) 22:13, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see anything else to quibble over on another run through. Happy to promote this, nice work. Kosack (talk) 13:26, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
