Duffy Lewis
- ... that when he was seven years old, Duffy Lewis (pictured) was the mascot for his local professional baseball team? "Duffy Lewis Got His First Real Baseball Job At Age Of Seven". The Boston Globe. November 27, 1915. p. 5. Retrieved June 24, 2021 – via Newspapers.com.
- ALT1:... that Duffy Lewis (pictured) was the only major league player to pinch hit for Babe Ruth? [1]

5x expanded by Muboshgu (talk). Self-nominated at 01:57, 28 June 2021 (UTC).
- Long enough, 5x expansion requirement fulfilled. All seems within policy; sources look good. All hooks interesting and short enough. I like all the hooks, but my favorite is ALT1 because I think that the name drop of Babe Ruth is fun. If you pick the first hook, that's fine, although I suggest this: "... that Duffy Lewis’ (pictured) first real job in baseball was, at the age of seven, as the mascot for his local professional team in Alameda, CA?" It's still short enough but it provides more information. It's just a suggestion, though, so if you like yours better, please go with it, and this review doesn't hinge upon your choice. QPQ done. Image free. Nice job with an interesting but obscure article. You're good to go.
