• Comment: I think the main hook is more interesting, but I'm open. I found the subject of this article when I was researching Dock Ellis, and the article about his newspaper ad apology hooked me enough to get me to 5x expand this person I'd never heard of before.

• Sorry I don't know how to check this for you -- I just wanted to say I love the first hook! I would actually read this article if you use the first one, and I rarely read sports articles. Tlqk56 (talk) 02:48, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

• 5X expansion, date, and general compliance with policy have been verified. Main hook is interesting and has been verified by the provided inline citation. --ThaddeusB (talk) 04:00, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
