Kenichi Marumo

  • Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Henry Fox (cricketer)
  • Comment: This is mainly a translation from the corresponding Japanese article, but I have also expanded it a bit and added extra sources. As for the hook, the subject spent four years in the second-team "farm league", but only ever appeared in one first-team match. In that game he was used as a pinch runner and scored a run. He was then replaced with someone else before having a chance to field or bat himself. The technical term would be "despite never having a plate appearance", but I think "never holding a bat" sounds more "hooky". If it is too vague or misleading, I would love to hear other suggestions.

  • Symbol question.svg New enough, long enough, meets core content policies. Hook cited to RS, but I'm concerned that the hook makes it sound like he literally never held a baseball bat during his entire career. Perhaps ALT1: ... that Kenichi Marumo once scored a run for the Orix Buffaloes baseball team despite not appearing at the plate? --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 19:15, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
