Note on sources[edit]

The Frank Russo book drew heavily from the SABR bio. It should be viewed as a secondary source, IMO. Rory1262 (talk) 13:22, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably he only got one start in the big leagues, since he only played parts of three games at 1st, and two of them were as late-inning replacements and there's no DH in the NL? Maybe find a way to work that in there somewhere, if it can be supported?
"In nine games with the Dodgers, he batted .091 with one hit and four strikeouts in 11 at bats." - move the link for strikeouts up to where it says that Tewksbury struck him out
"In 1993, he pitched two games for the Dukes, winning one of them, though his ERA was 11.57" - link ERA for the benefit of those non baseball fans reading the article
First paragraph of the NPB section is uncited
Move the link for the V. J. Keefe Stadium up from the personal life section to the death section where it is mentioned.
The last four sections are all extremely short. I'd recommend trying to find a way to condense these into two or more sections. The personality should be able to fit in with the personal life pretty well. Combining coaching and death may seem a little odd, but would a section title like "Final years" or something work for that?
The source " Chinese Taiwan language data" is a wiki and doesn't seem to be reliable.
The sole image meets fair use criteria
Other sources except for the one mentioned above look fine.

Good work, placing this one on hold. Hog Farm _Talk 16:24, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
