To avoid the hanging possessive apostrophe: ALT1 ... that in 2013, Chris Davis (pictured) led all Major League Baseball players with 53 home runs? Belle (talk) 14:45, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Thankyou for improving the hook. Striking the original. Oceanh (talk) 01:13, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

Article long enough (22,746 characters "readable prose size"), new enough (promoted to Good Article status on 28 August 2014), fully referenced. ALT1 Image very nice, appropriately licensed. No QPQ required. Unfortunately, the source say that he was first in the American League, not in MLB. You'll need another source or a slightly modified hook.

Thank you for the review. What about

ALT2 ... that in 2013, Chris Davis (pictured) led all American League baseball players with 53 home runs?

Since the NL leaders (two players) had 36 home runs, Davis also had the most home runs in MLB in 2013. I'm not familiar with baseball sources; maybe @Sanfranciscogiants17 would like to add something. Oceanh (talk) 22:40, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

That sounds right, but it just needs to be backed up. Good to go with ALT2. Hawkeye7 (talk) 23:39, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
