- minor problems
- "who starred primarily as a catcher and a player-manager" - does a player-manger "star"?
- "Faster than the average catcher, Bresnahan had two inside the park home runs on May 30, 1902." - meaning a faster runner, I gather.
- Yes – Muboshgu (talk) 15:54, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
- "Bill Klem called the game," - this means calling off the game?
- Yes – Muboshgu (talk) 15:54, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
- "The Giants sought to get younger and faster in 1909" - sought to get a younger, faster team? (less idiomatic).
- Fixed – Muboshgu (talk) 15:54, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
- "married Gertrude" - does Gertrude have a last name?
- Having trouble finding it. Even her obituary doesn't say.[1] – Muboshgu (talk) 03:11, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
- organizational problems
- The lede doesn't cover the article, not only does it not indicate the range of positions he played, and his rather complicated "other life", but doesn't mention his rather salient idiosyncratic personality, his awards, poems about him (rather unusual, isn't it?), significant disagreements etc.
- The article rather falls apart in the end. Surely "personal life" can be integrated into another section that deals with his non player/manager activities. And the "Profile" section is awkward. I don't know how this is usually handled in articles, but it seems like this information should be integrated into his playing career.
