5x expanded by Muboshgu (talk). Self-nominated at 21:32, 26 January 2021 (UTC).

• Newness requirement satisified by 5x expansion between 1/24 and 1/27. Article is also long enough, well sourced/cited, and policy compliant (and Earwig detects no issues). The hooks are interesting, short enough, and supported by in-line sources. Personally, I prefer alt0 which I think is close to being a perfect hook. Nice work! And QPQ satisfied.

• I agree with ALT0 being the best to use, @Muboshgu: I have taken the liberty of moving it to the AFD holding area for you. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 15:43, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

Review

• He won the nickname "Ugly" won? Maybe he carried the nickname?

• How about "received"? – Muboshgu (talk) 23:36, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
  • That's fine

• Can you expand a little on Martha? Maybe He had a sister, Martha, who managed and played for the Waukegan girls baseball team

• I can, but that's all I can add. That and she was a high school freshman in Nov 1928. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:36, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
  • That's fine

• The next year, Dickshot named the missing some words here

• This better? – Muboshgu (talk) 01:43, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

• Dickshot referred to himself as the "ugliest man in baseball" Awkward placement. Do we know why? This should likely be the first sentence of the section
  • The best I can tell from my research on Mr. Dickshot, he was self-deprecating in regards to his looks. There are other anecdotes that I did not include, but I will collect and add them today or tomorrow. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:09, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Okay, HickoryOughtShirt?4. Check out the expansion to the ugly section and lmk what you think. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:21, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
    • Muboshgu, fantastic! This reads so much better, much appreciated . HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 03:09, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
• This should be good otherwise . HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 23:39, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
  • I am passing this now, well done. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 03:09, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

    HickoryOughtShirt?4, thank you! – Muboshgu (talk) 03:22, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
