User:AutomaticStrikeout/DYK hooks

''Much of the design for this page has been pilfered from the one used by, who I consider to be the finest content creator in WikiProject Baseball. The following are the hooks from the articles for which I have been granted DYK credit (this doesn not mean that I was the only editor to work on the article or even that I wrote the hook, only that I did enough of the work on the article to receive credit when it was featured as a DYK):
