 * Symbol question.svg Date, size, refs, copyvio, neutrality, all good. But I think the hook is unclear. I'd propose adding the word exceptionally or such to the hook to make it more claer, and to link the terms New York Mets, New York Yankees and Daryl Strawberry. Ping me when this is done so I can review the revised hook. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 12:32, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Strictly speaking, WP:DYKHOOK doesn't require that and I feel that to do that would be WP:OLINK as it would be putting focus on the other teams rather than the apple.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 07:46, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
