I suggest:

Done* the comma within the "" on "death to flying things" suggests that it is part of the quote and should be outside of it, I feel.
Done* "His character and unquestioned honesty was looked up to and was sorely needed during a period in baseball history where the game's reputation was badly damaged by gamblers and rowdy behavior by players and fans, and it served him well during his long career" - this is a) a lot of info for the lead, b) hopefully cited by [3] and if not, needs to be cited quickly, and if is uncited then is POV etc.
Done* having the nickname info so far away from the nickname in the lead is a bit confusing
Done* "early career" new york is repeated twice in quick succession
Done* "drove in the tying run" non-baseball watchers (like me) would not understand the term "drove in" is it baseball specific or just an unusual analogy?
Done* "One possible reason raised was that nobody wanted to be like Ferguson. But soon, the advantage that switch-hitting posed in situational hitting, and platooning ballplayers" too much baseball jargon
Done* cites [2] and [2] in "national association" you only need the last one as the two lines are together

career highlights and awards in infobox, "No notable achievements" is that a third party RS statement?

Done* between [3] and [6] in "National League" is a big gap for no cites

Other than that, seems fairly comprehensive and well written. Hope my suggestions are of use... --SGGH ^speak! 20:15, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
