 * Symbol confirmed.svg 5× expansion of 6 October 2014 version completed from 1,548 characters to 7,787 and nominated 5 days later. Duplication detector check of online sources  and quick read through the others (that either can't go through Dup detector or don't contain prose) reveal no close paraphrasing issues (waiving direct quotes and applying WP:LIMITED).  Article is well-sourced.  Hook is 67 characters long (ALT1 is 66); both are under the 200 character max. limit and are interesting.  Image is free and in public domain.  Ref 1 (verifying both main and ALT1) is a reliable source from the SABR.  QPQ done.  Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 02:41, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg I like the first hook, but it's lacking an inline cite. Yoninah (talk) 11:44, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
 * It's cited. At the end of the "Minor league baseball" section: "Able to make a career in baseball, Carey decided to drop out of Concordia.[1]" – Muboshgu (talk) 21:13, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks. I missed that. Restoring tick. Yoninah (talk) 22:23, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
