Orphaned references in Johnny Antonelli

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Johnny Antonelli's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "nytobit":

• From Willie Mays: Goldstein, Richard. Don Zimmer, Who Spent 60 Eventful Years in Baseball, Dies at 83. The New York Times June 5, 2014. Retrieved August 15, 2020.
• From Al Smith (outfielder): Goldstein, Richard (January 6, 2002). "Al Smith, 73, Dies; Was Doused in Series". The New York Times. Retrieved April 5, 2019.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 15:21, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

I'll pick this one up, review coming as soon as possible. Kosack (talk) 12:42, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Initial review

Lead

• Where is his middle name sourced?
• His height and weight aren't sourced anywhere that I can see either.
• It's a little repetitive to mention the $52,000 bonus twice in short succession perhaps. Do we need both mentions?
• "never pitching more than 96 innings", perhaps add "in a single year" or similar if that's what is implied?

Early life

• Probably worth adding "née" in the brackets ahead of Messore.
• Is Jefferson High School mentioned here Thomas Jefferson High School (Rochester, New York)?
• "from nine of the 16 Major League Baseball teams", avoid switching between digits and words when using comparable figures, per MOS:NUMNOTES.
• Add (MLB) after Major League Baseball to explain further uses of the abbreviation.
• "the largest bonus", was this the largest signing bonus so to speak? If so I would add that to the sentence perhaps.
• "the largest bonus in baseball history at the time.[2][1][3]" although it's not a hard and fast rule, refs are generally presented in numerical order unless there's a specific reason not to.
• "fighting for Boston's first National League pennant", fighting seems a little sensationalist. Perhaps, just challenging or competing?

Braves' "bonus baby"

• "Antonelli gain more experience. Antonelli", the double use of Antonelli in quick succession is a little repetitive here. Perhaps drop the second for "He"?
• "in a 4– triumph", something missing here.

Giants' All-Star pitcher

• "Willie Mays biographer" > Mays'
• "led the league in ERA", is there a need to relink ERA again here? It's used pretty frequently prior to this and is linked appropriately at the first usage.
• Add a convert template for "100 degrees Fahrenheit".
• "suspended Antonelli indefinitely without pay, pending an apology", do we know if he made the apology or Durocher relented?
  • It wasn't clear in the sources I found, which is why I left it unclear in the article. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 13:52, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
• "from Section Five of the Polo Grounds", Polo Grounds is used here but not linked until the next mention.

Indians and Braves, retirement

• Polo Grounds is linked again here.

References

• Ref 4 uses a different date format for the archive and accessdates.
• Other than that, the refs seem well formatted and a few random spot checks of info check out.

Overall, a high quality article with only some minor points to pick up on. Placed on hold for now while these are addressed. Kosack (talk) 09:43, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

All of my comments have been suitably addressed, happy to promote now. Kosack (talk) 19:05, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
