 * General
 * Image is good. That is really interesting that Bowman's trading cards fell into PD.
 * References are good, spotcheck reveals they support their statements; no issues with close paraphrasing


 * Lead
 * Seems odd that being a member of a World Series champion is not listed in the lead


 * Minor leagues
 * "where he spent the season as the team's second baseman and played with future teammate Vic Raschi." - Odd to state that he was playing with a future teammate since the two were obviously also current teammates. Perhaps specify future major league teammate?


 * Major leagues
 * We are told that Clark played in the 1947 World Series, but we aren't told the result of the series.
 * Likewise, we're informed of the 1948 tiebreaker, but the result is only implied, and again, being on the 1948 World Series champ is not noted.

Obviously, only a very minor concern about specifically noting he was on WS winning teams. I just want to get your thought on this before passing the article. Regards, Resolute 23:10, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Overall
 * Issues fixed, added WS notes where needed. Indeed, once we found out Bowman fell into PD it's helped our 40s-50s articles out tremendously. Wizardman  Operation Big Bear 03:39, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Yup, that'll do 'er. I'm now satisfied to pass this.  Always a fan of seeing a good article on a journeyman player. Regards, Resolute 22:54, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
