From Dr. Hildebrandt: Good job, Jake! Keep up with it.

1. I chose the 1875 St. Louis Brown Stockings season Wikipedia stub. The reason I chose this stub is because I love the Cardinals and know that they used to be known as the St. Louis Browns.

2. I know the article is a stub because at the bottom of the page it reads "This article relating to a baseball season is a stub."

3. The article does a good job at providing the teams stats for the 1875 season but that is about all it does. It provides the stats of each player who played for the 1975 Brown Stockings but no information about them personally. It was pretty remarkable that they were able to finish fourth in the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players in their inaugural season. Yet, there is no mention of the heroics of any of the players no backstory as to who founded the club. Overall there is a deeper story to be told about this team considering that if it was not for their great record in 1875 the club could have disbanded and there would not be a St. Louis Cardinals baseball team.

4. Yes, there is one referenced link at the bottom of the page that still works and takes you to a website detailing the stats mentioned in the Wikipedia stub.

5. As I have said before the stub is not lacking in the statistics category but does however need some improvement on just about everything else.

The Wikipedia history article guide states that not all history is objective and that often times historians disagree so it is important to take into account each side of a certain topic. Similarly, as it states to focus on the each side of the topic it also explains that each person that was apart of a historical event or team in this case needs to be examined and reported upon.

As I have said before this article really only contains the stats of the 1875 St. Louis Brown Stockings and nothing else. In similar more recent articles related to this one the teams season is broken down into months in order to further describe what went on throughout the year. These articles also describe viewership the team received, seeing as television and even radio had not yet been invented I could try to do some research on the box office ticket sales at the Brown Stockings home stadium.
