• ... that the winning run for Harvard over Yale in the 1902 baseball series was scored by William Clarence Matthews, the only African-American player for either team, in front of 9000 fans?

• Comment: My first try at this, so corrections appreciated.

• New enough, long enough. Hook fact is accurate and cited with two inline citations. As no copyvio or plagiarism concerns and reliable sources are used, your hook is good to go. Nominator should wikify African-American. QPQ is not needed; first try at DYK for nominator.--LlamaAl (talk) 22:06, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

• Wikified African American as suggested. Thanks! AbstractIllusions (talk) 23:30, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
