Comments

  • Could replace some "he"s in the second paragraph of the lead for some "Thurman"s
  • After retirement, he worked as a major league scout and insurance agent until his death in 1953. 1993?
  • A Fair Use image would be nice.
  • ...he was a three-sport athlete, playing baseball, where he was a second baseman, basketball, and track and field. perhaps use parentheses ...he was a three-sport athlete, playing baseball, (where he was a second baseman)...
  • Just curious, where did you find the second reference? I tried searching for it on Google News and pqasb archiver but couldn't find it.
  • After playing in 97 games, finishing with an average of .390, Tucker played for the Oklahoma City Indians playing in 40 games. overuse of "playing"
  • ...the season ended, Chicago White Sox farm manager delink White Sox since it's linked earlier
  • Tucker finished the season with a batting average of .287 and six triples delink batting average
  • with a batting average of .288 and 20 doubles, both career highs. delink doubles
  • in mid-June, the Padres sold his contract to the Oklahoma City Indians of the Texas League. Caps please

Issues fixed. I'll look for a good fair use image. I've held off on that because I feel like there has to be a free image out there somewhere, but I've come up empty in my usual searches. Until I find one I might as well add one in. As for Ref #2, I had access to the Sporting News archives for a while and was able to save my results for a few, including Tucker. They're the ones that have all the personal life info for most players of the era, so I use it as often as I can with the remaining players i have copies for. Thanks for the review.
