Very nice article expansion. Hook is verified by the sources on Google Books. The image is good. However, many paragraphs do not have any inline citations. Also, here is an ALT1 to consider:

ALT1: ... that Fred Dunlap (pictured), who was once the highest paid player in professional baseball, died penniless at the age of 43? - PM800 (talk) 14:05, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

I have beefed up the sourcing per PM800's comments. I also believe that the alt1 hook proposed by PM800 is stronger. Thanks for the help. Cbl62 (talk) 05:21, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

ALT1 is good to go. - PM800 (talk) 19:33, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
