Jim Bottomley

... that Jim Bottomley (pictured) set the Major League Baseball single-game record for runs batted in during the 1924 season, a record that still stands?

Comment: I'm not sure why DYKcheck isn't acknowledging this expansion. Pre-expansion, the article was 2293 characters; now, it's 11,635. The RBI record was tied by Mark Whiten in 1993, but the record does still stand.

Article is expanded five-folds (from 2294 character to approx 12k chars) and nominated in time. The article is well-written and has inline citations. Though I think you should do something about the "in current dollar terms"; 1. it is unsourced 2. it is likely to change. Hook is short enough, interesting and is backed up by a inline citation. Image also checks out. Mentoz86 (talk) 16:30, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. The "current dollar terms" uses an inflation template that will remain accurate going forward. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:35, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
