Pass/Fail:

Lead[edit]

"Spencer Paul Heath, Jr." - problem relating to MOS:JR here
Heath's nationality will need to be mentioned in the first paragraph of the lead
"Listed at 6'0", 170 lb.," - the convert template will be better off used on these figures
Think the lead can be expanded with further details of Heath's playing career

Early life[edit]

"Spencer Paul Heath, Jr.," - MOS:JR problem here
"Spencer Heath, Sr.," - same as above
"Well-known around Chicago for his skills in semipro baseball," - semi-professional

Winnipeg Maroons (1919)[edit]

Winning percentage would be better off wikilinked to the appropriate article for non-baseball readers

Chicago White Sox (1920)[edit]

"Baseball historian Frank Russo points out that this was difficult," - the text in bold is informal; a word such as noted is more appropriate in this instance
The term inning can be wikilinked to its article only on the first mention

Later years[edit]

"Heath returned to playing semipro ball after his time with the White Sox." - semi-professional baseball
- Semipro ball is a common term in the baseball world; I never see it spelled out. I linked it to an appropriate article in case people wonder what it means. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 01:37, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
