• ... that New York Yankees prospect Nik Turley (pictured) is a "distant relative" of former Yankees' star Bob Turley?

• Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Maribel Dominguez
• Comment: He says his father spoke to Bob Turley, but that he himself did not. That should be sufficient confirmation. As to ALT1, that's really late for such a good player to be selected. Only five players who signed as 50th round picks have made it to the majors.[1]

• ALT1: ... that New York Yankees prospect Nik Turley (pictured) was chosen with the third-to-last selection, 1,502nd overall, of the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft?

• 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, well-referenced, no close paraphrasing seen in sources. I prefer ALT1, and I added which organization he is with to the hook. ALT1 hook ref verified. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 21:16, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
