Improved to Good Article status by Muboshgu (talk). Self nominated at 15:13, 15 April 2014 (UTC).

Newly-passed good article is long enough and was nominated a day after promotion. Duplication detector check of hook sources [1][2] reveal no close paraphrasing issues. Article is well-sourced. Hook is 121 characters long (ALT1 is 98); both are under the 200 character max and are interesting. Refs 4 and 10 (verifying the main and ALT1 hooks, respectively) are both reliable sources – the former from MLB.com; the latter from the Chicago Tribune. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 20:45, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
