Francisco Herrera (baseball)
... that Los Angeles Dodgers ball boy Chico Herrera became an unlikely fan favorite after making impressive plays when put on the squad for preseason scrimmage games, and inspired the catchphrase "Don't Run on Chico"?Source: "Chico, No. 97, fired a strike to second base that easily beat Taylor for a double play. Both teams erupted with cheers and laughter inside an empty Dodger Stadium. The lesson was clear: Don’t run on Chico." in LA Times [1]

New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. I have tagged one sentence where a verb seems to be missing; I don't understand what the first part of the sentence means. Image is freely licensed, though I'm wondering why a Twitter page is public domain. No QPQ needed for nominator with less than 5 DYK credits.
- Your hook is over the maximum limit of 200 characters, but more importantly, it is not really a "hook"—that is, an interesting tidbit that will "reel" readers in to reading your article. Instead, you are saying everything there is to say about the subject and giving the reader no reason to click on the article and read more. Could you suggest a hook that is shorter and punchier? Maybe play around with the "Don't Run on Chico" part. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 00:35, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
- The nominator has not edited since August 14. He was pinged on his talk page on August 21. Giving this until August 28 before marking for closure as unsuccessful. Yoninah (talk) 23:04, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
