• 16px Article expanded from no prose to 5,481 characters. Article is well-sourced. No copyvios detected. Refs 8, 11, 12 and 13 are all reliable (either Baseball Reference or newspapers) and verify the hook fact. Hook is 172 characters long (under 200 character limit) and is interesting. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 18:09, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
