• ... that Chief Wilson (pictured) set the Major League Baseball single-season record for triples in 1912, a record that still stands?

• Article 5x expansion verified (693/119 to 3711/647), expansion start date okay, overall article length okay, hook quite verified and useful (I didn't realize who held the single-season record, although I know who holds the career record), article quality metrics fine. Good to go. (As an aside, it would be useful to add to the article that no one has come within less than ten of the record since then, and that was in the 1920s. This is one of those safe records!)
