Philadelphia Athletics 18, Cleveland Indians 17 (1932)

Created by Wehwalt (talk). Self-nominated at 01:38, 8 September 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Philadelphia Athletics 18, Cleveland Indians 17 (1932); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

  • New article that was created on 6 September 2023‎‎ is 18,930 characters long and nominated two days later. No copyvios detected (high confidence of violation due to direct quote that has been cited; AGF sources which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Hook is 130 characters long (under 200 character max.) and is interesting. Ref 14 (verifying the hook) is a reliable source from the Society for American Baseball Research. QPQ done (currently here instead of here, likely due to a page move for the article but not the DYK nom). Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 21:25, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
Thanks. Or perhaps:

ALT1: ... that in the 1932 game in which pitcher Eddie Rommel won his last game, he pitched 17 innings in relief, an American League record, giving up 29 hits, still a Major League record?

That would require this additional source.--Wehwalt (talk) 21:55, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
  • approving ALT1 as well. —Bloom6132 (talk) 22:13, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
