Platoon system

 * ... that Debs Garms won a batting title while he was a platoon player?
 * ALT1:... that Bob Melvin is considered the "king of platoons"?
 * ALT2:... that the first recorded use of the platoon system in baseball dates back to 1887?

 * Symbol question.svg Article is within policy and meets expansion requirements. ALT2 seems ready to go.  The main hook needs some reference that it is baseball, and ALT1 needs softer wording or more refs that it isn't just one person's opinion.  QPQ is outstanding.—Bagumba (talk) 05:28, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * QPQ provided. I agree with your points on the hook, so we can just go with ALT2 now. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:44, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg No obstacles with QPQ resolved. Go with ALT2.—Bagumba (talk) 03:34, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
