Improved to Good Article status by Kncny11 (talk). Self-nominated at 21:32, 15 June 2021 (UTC).
Hi Kncny11, review follows: article made GA on 15 June; article is well written and cited inline to reliable sources throughout; I did a spot check on some of the sources and found no issues with overly close paraphrasing; quotes are properly attributed; a QPQ has been carried out; image is freely licensed and OK at this scale
- Hooks:
- ALT0: mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited; I changed "pants" to "jeans" in ALT0 so that it is understandable in Commonwealth English also.
- ALT1: mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited; I am not familiar with baseball so don't know how rare this is. I think ALT0 is more accessible to the general reader and would prefer this hook.
- Nice article, good work - Dumelow (talk) 07:25, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
