List of Major League Baseball players with a career .400 on-base percentage

 * Nominator(s): Staxringold talkcontribs 05:08, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel it is up to FLC snuff, covering an interesting and classic benchmark group of great hitters. The traditional "slash stats" are a .300/.400/.500 hitter that is someone with a .300 batting average, .400 on-base percentage, and a .500 slugging percentage. I think it'll be nice to have at least the basic baseball statistics lists in better order as some of them were pretty shabby looking (this list, for example, had only one sentence of prose prior to my expansion). Also, sidenote, but I can't figure out why the equivalent batting average list is .325, despite what I've said above. This is at .400, slugging is at .500, and on-base plus slugging is at .900, but I guess for simplicity (208 players have a .300 career average) we went with a higher mark. Unrelated to this list, though. Staxringold talkcontribs 05:08, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Very Minor Issue - I don't know if this has been brought up before, but may I ask why the space template is after the table, is it really needed?  Afro  ( Not a Terrible Joke ) - Afkatk 09:35, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Removed. Staxringold talkcontribs 15:11, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Everything looks good. Afro  ( Its More Than a Feeling ) - Afkatk 19:45, 22 January 2010 (UTC)


 *  Provisional support – Only real issue I see is a number starting a sentence: "26 of the 42 eligible players with a career on-base percentage of .400 or higher have been elected to the Hall of Fame." Other than that, everything looks good.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 20:08, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Would you prefer "Of the 42 eligible players... 26 have been elected"? Staxringold talkcontribs 20:12, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes. That looks good.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 22:03, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. Staxringold talkcontribs 22:22, 29 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Support, found something to link and did that, but otherwise the list is good. Wizardman  Operation Big Bear 04:43, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
