List of Cleveland Spiders Opening Day starting pitchers

 * Nominator(s):  Astros 4477  ( Talk ) 19:49, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because... I feel it meets all the criteria and matches other MLB Opening Day starting pitchers lists.  Astros 4477  ( Talk ) 19:49, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Comments –
 * In the first sentence, the "team" right after "franchise" should be dropped.
 * The en dash in the first sentence of the third paragraph shouldn't be unspaced according to the MoS. It should be spaced or made into a larger em dash.
 * In ref 2, the publisher shouldn't be italicized since MLB isn't a print publication of any kind, but an organization. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 22:16, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

 * I'd switch " that played from 1887 to 1899 and were based in Cleveland, Ohio." to "that were based in Cleveland and played from ..."
 * Fixed.--  Astros 4477  ( Talk ) 14:45, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
 * "from 1887 to 1888" does this actually mean "in the 1887 and 1888 seasons"?
 * Yes, fixed.--  Astros 4477  ( Talk ) 14:46, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
 * "Opening Day" is over linked in the lead.
 * Fixed.--  Astros 4477  ( Talk ) 14:47, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
 * "a score of". This seems entirely redundant to me.

 * "from 1891-1899" see WP:DASH and WP:YEAR.
 * While the key may be generic to these lists, it features a number of items that will never be used here so I suggest you ditch them.
 * Should add a note about the perceived confusion over the location of the Opening Day of the 1888 season...
