300 win club

 * Nominator(s): – Muboshgu (talk) 22:44, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

It;s important for WP:BASEBALL for this to become a FL. Joining the 300 win club is seen as one of the highest achievement in baseball, along with joining the 3,000 strikeout club, 300 save club, 500 home run club, or 3,000 hit club. Incidentally, those are all FLs. This will complete the set. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:44, 8 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Support – meets all 6 criteria. Great work! —Bloom6132 (talk) 17:03, 12 September 2012 (UTC)


 * " In total, 24 pitchers " In total is redundant, but avoid starting the sentence with a number...
 * Thought about how to handle that one for a while, was leaning towards "There are 24 members..." but went with spelling out 24. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:01, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
 * "finishing his career" would prefer "ending his career"
 * How about "and retired"? Can change to "ending his career" if you're dead set on it. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:19, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * "suppressed offensive production" I don't understand this phrase or how a stadium design could achieve whatever it is...
 * Some stadiums are hitter's parks while others are pitcher's parks. This could be due to a number of reasons, such as how far the fences are from home plate. Also, stadiums at higher altitude have more offensive production because the ball will travel further in the thinner air. The stadiums that were new in the 1960s (Dodger Stadium, Shea Stadium, the Astrodome) were definitively pitcher's parks. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:30, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * That is genuinely interesting. I think a little note for the non-baseball experts wouldn't go amiss here.  The Rambling Man (talk) 18:39, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Something in addition to the link to pitcher's park, you mean? I can think about how to do that. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:01, 19 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Isn't it "300 winS club" the grammatically correct version? To non-baseball readers the title needs to be explained and cited. Nergaal (talk) 01:17, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * That's a good point, but as you can see from the sources and from the similar lists I posted above (3,000 strikeout club, 300 save club, 500 home run club, 3,000 hit club), the term which should perhaps be plural is most commonly used in the singular form. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:15, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Comments –
 * "World War II military service, such as Bob Feller". "Feller" → "Feller's"?
 * Fixed. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:15, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Grammatically, "that" needs to be added before "were pitcher's parks" for the sentence as a whole to work.
 * Fixed. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:30, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Would be nice to have the all-time leader in wins mentioned in-text. That's an important fact I'd expect to see in the prose, not just in a photo caption.
 * Added. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:30, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The Kid Nichols caption needs some sort of citation, since nothing in the prose or list verifies his age. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 02:21, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Ref added. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:30, 20 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Support on prose and images. Solid. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:48, 25 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Support TBrandley 03:25, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
