Improved to Good Article status by HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk). Self-nominated at 22:06, 16 January 2021 (UTC).

• article promoted to good article on Jan. 16 - check.
• Way long enough at 9000 characters - check.
• Citations exist, are plentiful, and pass spot-check. Hook is directly cited. Check.
• No disputes, BLP-compliant. Check.
• No close paraphrasing, via the Earwig tool. I made one wee change. Check.
• Neutral. Check.
• Hook looks properly formatted and appropriate length to me. The main hook was hook-y enough to catch my attention. (Really, they let people born in the 2000s into pro sports now? They didn't in my day! Get off my lawn!) I strongly prefer the main hook to alt-2, which is just a more-specific version of the main hook. That said, others may prefer the second hook, which is also cited and clearly written. I'd go with the first 'cause it's more general-interest, but YMMV.
• I don't see a QPQ review. I might be missing something - I'll ask the nominator on their talk page. Once that's done, this is good to go!Moishe Rosenbaum (talk) 02:06, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
