New enough and long enough. Neutral enough. Plagiarism check: here, here and manual check of news sources gives me no cause for concern. Hook is properly formatted.
Three fact tags need clearing.
Quoted text in hook a "chance to be the greatest second baseman who ever lived" does not appear in article itself but inside a quotebox in the article. Not certain about the rules regarding this. :( ALT1 usage of quote is found in the article so appears to negate this.

  Once fact tags are referenced and if ALT1 is used, we should be good to go. --LauraHale (talk) 07:00, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

- Issues dealt with. I don't see why the hook has to be in prose rather than a quote box, as nothing seems to prohibit that. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:08, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Doh! Sorry. Missed this being commented back on. :( My bad. Anyway, Good to go. --LauraHale (talk) 05:22, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
