 * ALT1... that member of the Canadian national baseball team Jimmy Van Ostrand was selected in the Major League Baseball draft in both 2003 and 2006? IvoShandor (talk) 20:13, 22 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Review: Article - 1. New: Symbol confirmed.svg; 5x expansion on January 12 from 372 characters to the current 1944 characters. 2 Long enough: Symbol confirmed.svg; it is 1944 characters, this is long enough. 3. Policy - Symbol confirmed.svg ; the article is within all major policies. Hook - 1. Format: Symbol confirmed.svg, at 122 characters the hook is well within parameters. 2. Content: Symbol confirmed.svg It is interesting (though I have suggested a alternate hook just so we have one). Hook fact is cited inline and neutral. Other - 1. QPQ: Symbol confirmed.svg, the editor reviewed an article - Japanese aircraft carrier Shōhō. There are no images being suggested with this hook.


 * This nom is golf tango golf in my opinion. IvoShandor (talk) 20:10, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I personally think the original hook is better than the alternate, since it is not uncommon for professional baseball players to be drafted twice, once out of high school and once out of college (those who chose to attend college, that is). – Muboshgu (talk) 22:29, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
 * No problem, just thought we should have an alternate and that being drafted twice might be something that not everyone realizes is common. Baseball fans, do, of course. :-) Interesting article. IvoShandor (talk) 03:28, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I appreciate that. I am fine with the administrator in charge choosing whichever hook seems most interesting to the lay public. Thank you for the review. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:00, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
