List of Providence Grays Opening Day starting pitchers[edit]
- ... that although Baseball Hall of Famer Charles Radbourn started 73 of the Providence Grays' 114 games in their World Series Championship year of 1884, he was not the Grays' Opening Day starting pitcher that year?
- ALT1:... that Baseball Hall of Famer Monte Ward was the Providence Grays Opening Day starting pitcher in half their Major League seasons?
- ALT2:... that in 75% of the Providence Grays' Major League Baseball seasons, their Opening Day starting pitcher was a Hall of Famer?

Article should have been listed as December 25 nomination -- it was created on that date and not expanded fivefold since then.
- Also, the original hook was missing the name Charles Radbourn, which I've added. -Kgwo1972 (talk) 22:36, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for fixing the hook. I'm not sure why the question mark symbol though - even if Dec. 25 was the correct date it was still within 5 days when nominated. But DYK eligibility is based on prose, and lists are excluded. The entire prose section was added on Dec. 30 - there were zero characters of readable prose on Dec. 25 - so Dec. 30 is the date as of which the >5x expansion took place.
