 * Certainly new enough, created on the 25th. Long enough. Well cited, neutral enough. Highly relevant topic I understand in the US right now, no question of it being interesting. No copyvio detected. &mdash; Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 15:37, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Hook 1 citation checks out, (accessed via Nexis). It is an easy grab, everyone knows what a 'hall of fame' is, and the air of controversy put forward over the issue of the older Judge not being in the hall of fame fits the tone of the book and the article well.
 * Hook ALT1 is unclear, the article cited suggests that Joe Judge did have the same average as Mickey Mantle, but Mark Judge is out in his calculations by .002 in the book. The current wording could be improved to explain the situation better. It is also less interesting to a wide audience. The reader is expected to know about baseball statistics and know who Mickey Mantle is. This would work well for an American audience, less well internationally.
 * If the image is to be used, it may be better to crop the frame.
 * Based on this I am approving Hook 1, but not ALT1. Symbol confirmed.svg &mdash; Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 16:08, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
