 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

 * General
 * Images are good
 * Not required for GA, but alternative text is always a good idea for images
 * Sources are good
 * No concerns with close paraphrasing


 * Lead
 * No need to state twice that he declined a scholarship from Missouri.
 * Player of the week award in the infobox? That seems remarkably trivial when compared to the rest of the awards.


 * Early life
 * It seems that RBI was never spelled out and linked to the appropriate article on first mention.


 * Professional career
 * Link to sacrifice fly on first mention?
 * Link to Option (baseball) on first mention?

The issues I found are all very minor, pretty much only a couple of spots where linking to an article is beneficial to a reader without a great understanding of baseball. I've added these links myself, and see no reason not to pass this nomination outright. Regards, Resolute 23:06, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Overall
 * Thank you! This feedback will be useful if I ever attempt to take this to FA. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:28, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
