minor problems
  • "who starred primarily as a catcher and a player-manager" - does a player-manger "star"?
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.

    Fair representation without bias:
  5. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    Pass! (I added the artist's name to painting.)

Thank you! It's certainly stronger now than when you started the review. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:09, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
