@Cbl62, please add an alternate hook, the hook seems not interesting , there are many baseball players who won a championship including a pennant, everything's ok, the citations, the length, 5x expanded, qpq, no copyvio and paraphrasing, the only problem is the hook. --PAPAJECKLOY (hearthrob! kiss me! <3) (talk) 17:48, 2 August 2014 (UTC).
- Gee, I though this was one of my more interesting ones. Winning major league pennants in two different cities and separated by 27 years is very unusual. That said, I will try to come up with another hook when I have a few minutes. Cbl62 (talk) 18:54, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
