  • Article length and creation date check out. Fact is cited and source has been verified. I do, however, suggest a rewording to make the accomplishment more clear:
ALT2: that pitcher Justin Pope broke Roger Clemens' college baseball record of 35 consecutive scoreless innings?

  • I didn't add the specifics of the record to the hook because I thought it might entice more people to click and see for themselves. We don't want to give away too much in a hook, right? Up to whoever promotes it whether to use the original or ALT2. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:51, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
  • To me, "a record" could be for something really dumb or trivial, so listing the (significant) record is more interesting. I'm fine with the original if pitcher is added for context. I agree the promoter should make the final call. --ThaddeusB (talk) 20:57, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
