Dupee Shaw

 * ... that Dupee Shaw delivery may have been the first pitching wind-up, created "a genuine sensation" and led baseball writers of his day to call him "a monkey, a mountebank and other harsh names"?

 * Symbol confirmed.svg 5× expansion of 19 October 2013 version completed from 729 characters to 9,257 and nominated on the same day. Duplication detector check of online sources  and quick read through other sources that can't go through Dup. detector reveal no close paraphrasing issues (waiving direct quotes).  Article is well-sourced, although it should be noted that refs 10 and 12 do not work for me.  Hook is 194 characters long (under the 200 character max. limit) and is interesting.  Ref 5 (verifying the hook) is a reliable source from NewspaperArchive.com article of the Reno Gazette-Journal.  QPQ done.  Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 00:38, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
