Hi, I will be reviewing this against the GA criteria as part of a GAN sweep. I'll leave some comments soon. JAGUAR 14:36, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Checking against the GA criteria

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
"Gromek was the winning pitcher in game four of the 1948 World Series with the Cleveland Indians" - this is a duplink

"New Cleveland manager Lou Boudreau used Gromek as a relief pitcher in 1942" - this needs un-linking, already been linked

"Gromek started the 1944 season in Cleveland's bullpen" - link bullpen for unfamiliar readers

"Doby had just broken the color barrier in the American League a season earlier" - how did he break the color barrier earlier? Is it documented?
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
No original research found.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
NPOV
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

This article is excellently written and meets the criteria as it is. I can't see any reason to leave it on hold. JAGUAR 18:00, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review! Links are fixed, as for the Doby point, it's documented on his article big time, I didn't go into detail on Gromek's article though so as not to get too tangential, but if you think I should explain it a bit better I can go ahead and do that.

Thanks for that! The colour barrier issue should be fine. JAGUAR 18:36, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
