Tom Burns (baseball), Fred Pfeffer

 * ... that Fred Pfeffer (pictured), Tom Burns and Ned Williamson each had three hits in the same inning of an 1883 major-league baseball game, and no other player had a three-hit inning until 1953? Source: Here - in the lower half of the article
 * Reviewed: Matua (priest), Center for the Study of Women in Society
 * Comment: Mayo's Cut Plug cards were apparently only produced in the 1890s, and the Commons description page says 1895, but I don't have any more information about the publication of the card, so I'm okay if we have to leave the image out. ETA: Also, I'm open to wording tweaks on this one. I'm trying to make the point that what these three guys all individually did (three hits in one inning) in the same inning of one game, no other player did for 70 years.

 * Symbol question.svg The articles are both newly expanded and long enough, and they are both well-cited and in good condition overall. The hook fact is cited to an RS in both articles, and the hook is just under 200 characters. For source checks, I looked at the reference with the hook fact (number 6 in both articles), along with numbers 3, 4, and 11 for Burns, and numbers 4, 8, and 11 for Pfeffer. There are a few issues to fix:
 * Reference 3 for Burns and 8 for Pfeffer has an issue, in that the page number provided doesn't say another about the tour going to Australia. That appears on the next page, so changing the page number to pp. 54–55 will be a sufficient fix for each article.
 * For Pfeffer, the Anson bio just says that he was popular among the German population; it doesn't really support the fact that he was a fan favorite in general.
 * Other than these cases, the content I checked was adequately supported and there were no close paraphrasing issues. As for the photo, it appears that it was published in 1895 by the Mayo Cut Plug Tobacco Company. Since the publication was pre-1923, it should be useable.

 * Thanks for the review. I think I've addressed these now. EricEnfermero (Talk) 02:34, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg My issues with the sources I checked have been resolved. The articles both look good to go now. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 17:03, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
