Mordecai Brown

I have chosen this article because I enjoy baseball and learning about the different types of people who have played the sport. The article dives a lot into his disability and how it impacted his pitching.

The article has great flow and the content is concise and includes a lot of Brown's baseball statistics. However, many of the sources are mainly just newspaper articles. It has a neutral tone, except for times when is described as the best pitcher in the respective era. The article includes a good image of Brown's hand to give a visual for the description of how the way his hand was contributed to him being a successful baseball pitcher. The talk page discusses how to include more details about Brown's life. I do believe this article could benefit from some more citations because there are so many statistics and numbers that are not followed by a citation.
