1932 Detroit Wolves season
- ... that the 1932 Detroit Wolves won the pennant with an outfielder, first baseman, shortstop, and two pitchers who were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame? Source: The Seamheads site (here) confirms "5 members of the Baseball Hall of Fame". The five inductees are center fielder Cool Papa Bell, first baseman Mule Suttles, shortstop Willie "The Devil" Wells, and pitchers Ray Brown and Smokey Joe Williams.. Hall of Fame profiles for all five are cited in the article.

Three comments:
- Can the citations in the Roster section please be made clearer? I was going to fail this as an uncited section before I noticed the citations underneath. This could perhaps be done similarly to the Game log section, with another column being added to the table. At the moment it is unclear what those citations refer to, as they appear unattached to anything specific.
- Could you provide a link for the word 'pennant', or else describe what this is, within the hook? Reading this in the UK I had no idea what this referred to. Possibly Pennant (sports) or Pennant race could be used?
- Not a barrier to DYK, but within the article St. Louis Stars links to a disambiguation page. Ideally this would be fixed, but I feel a DYK could continue regardless. CSJJ104 (talk) 19:13, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Cbl62: - Pinging in case you hadn't seen my comments. Are you able to address these and provide a QPQ? CSJJ104 (talk) 18:59, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for the ping, CSJJ. I will address these points shortly. Cbl62 (talk) 19:03, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
- @CSJJ104: The issues you raised have been fixed, with the exception of the manner of citation in the roster section. Whereas the game log section has a separate source for each line item, each entry in the roster section is supported by the same two citations which are provided at the end of the section. In similar cases (e.g. GA-rated 2008 Philadelphia Phillies season#Roster), it is common practice is to list the roster source only once. It would be possible, but repetitious, to include the same two citations after each and every entry on the roster. I will do it if necessary for DYK passage, but it is contrary to normal practice and strikes me as sub-optimal. Cbl62 (talk) 20:56, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Cbl62: It doesn't have to be a separate column, but the issue at the moment is that the citations appear unattached to any particular text. The example you give has the citations attached to the text introducing the table, this would be acceptable here if some text were added. Other alternatives are to add the citation templates to the top of each column, or to add a table caption and add them there. CSJJ104 (talk) 22:59, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
