(ALT1) ... that following his scoreless inning streak, Orel Hershiser became the first non-Olympian to win Associated Press Athlete of the Year in an Olympic year in 20 years?--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 17:23, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

New article is long enough (20k characters), with no copyright violations detected. Article is well-referenced throughout. Hook is 146 characters long (164 characters for ALT1); both are under the 200 character max. limit and are interesting. Refs 52 (for main hook) and 65 (for ALT1) are reliable sources, both coming from the Los Angeles Times. QPQ done (you still got 4 more you can use from that review). Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 19:26, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
