I am nominating this for featured list because I believe that it meets the criteria. The lead article for a second baseball awards featured subtopic and an important article in the overall scheme of the main awards topic. Comments welcome and will be addressed.

  • Comment: Would you consider adding a color corresponding with the † symbol? I realize it is a little complicated because the annotation with the * and ** symbols is often noted on the same player, but perhaps you could add a color field for if both apply. Meh, I may be making more trouble then it's worth :) Hello32020 (talk) 11:58, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I considered the option when building the Silver Slugger list, then realized that because some of the players who lead their position are also Hall of Famers, so it makes it eminently complicated to have two extra sets of colors for the sake of adding one thing. The rationale behind excluding it is basically that being a Hall of Famer is important, but it's not essential to the understanding of this list, so the color was excluded. However, it's still noted for accuracy purposes, and the names of all Hall of Famers by position will be outlined in the new winners by position lists that are soon to come.

Resolved comments from Giants2008
Comments –
  • "and the Rawlings Gold Glove was born," Why is there a comma at the end? :-)
  • There's not? I see a period/full stop.
  • Are four cites really necessary to prove that Palmeiro's win was controversial?
  • Probably not completely necessary, but I would rather that be overcited than have somebody say there isn't enough evidence to call it controversial
  • All-time Gold Glove team: "The team was selected by thefans". This word can be safely removed to make it less wordy.
  • Comma in the middle of "at United States Postal Service offices and at sporting goods stores."

Support – All looks well after the changes. Looking forward to many more reviews of other lists in the topic in the weeks ahead. Giants2008 (17-14) 23:59, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • "a walnut base, and the Rawlings Gold Glove was born." Sounds very nice, but the journalistic personification "and the Rawlings Gold Glove was born" is not appropriate here :)
  • "Some critics have called for awarding a single" You could probably do away with "some".
  • "resulting in some controversy." Here, it really isn't necessary.
  • The lead image caption is not a complete sentence; there shouldn't be a period at the end. (nice image by the way)
