Lou Gehrig Memorial Award

 * Nominator(s): Bloom6132 (talk) 00:32, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel it has been improved significantly over the past few months and now meets all 6 FL criteria. —Bloom6132 (talk) 00:32, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Comments from Crisco 1492
 * The inaugural winner was Alvin Dark. - Why did he get it?
 * I've checked all the free Google News archive articles, but none of them explain why Dark won the award. I was basing the "inaugural winner sentence" off the Hutch Award FL, which bluntly states the Mick won it. —Bloom6132 (talk) 03:28, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Anything on the award's site? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:06, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * No, nothing much. It just states he was a PDT member at LSU.  And the site only delves into specific details for the last seven winners. —Bloom6132 (talk) 06:40, 13 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Why no winner for 2012? When is the winner selected?
 * According to Baseball Almanac, the 2012 winner will be announced in June 2013. However, the award date changes frequently, as Derek Jeter won the 2010 award in January 2011. —Bloom6132 (talk) 03:28, 13 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Images look fine (no action required)
 * Looks very solid. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:59, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your feedback Crisco! Cheers. —Bloom6132 (talk) 03:28, 13 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Support on prose and images, looks solid enough. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:49, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Comments by Arsenikk Otherwise I don't see anything else to pick on. Arsenikk (talk)  18:17, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Perhaps elaborate a bit more on what is meant by "the character and integrity of Lou Gehrig". From what I read further down in the lead it seems that this is a award for off-field philanthropic work. I would be nice if the article was a bit more specific about the criteria or what is emphasized in selection.
 * Unfortunately, the award's website itself is pretty vague on what the criteria is. It only stipulates a player who "best exemplifies the spirit and character" of Gehrig "both on and off the field". —Bloom6132 (talk) 02:14, 20 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Support excellent list. Arsenikk (talk)  08:15, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
