Lead

  • "He batted and threw right-handed. Unglaub stood 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) and weighed 178 pounds (81 kg)." — Doesn't appear in body of article.
  • "Though he got the starts" — Odd wording.

Early life

  • "John and Minnie" — John and Minnie Unglaub?
  • "Upon Unglaub's graduation from high school" — Do you know the name of the high school?
  • "pitching under his middle name of Alexander" — Any idea why? I've heard of a pen name before, but never a pitching name.
  • "Unglaub also played for semipro teams on Maryland's Eastern Shore" — Any more details?
  • Any stats/details of his collegiate career?
    • No. 13:57, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Early seasons (1901–03)

  • Where did the Meriden Silverites play? What year did he sign with them?
  • Where did Worcester play? Massachusetts?
  • "also played the 1901 season" — Does this mean he played in Worcester in both 1900 and 1901, or that he played in both Meriden and Worcester in 1901?
  • Any other relevant stats from this period?

First taste of the major leagues (1904–05)

  • What does "unknown transaction" mean?
  • "an earlier trade" — Link to player to be named later, or is that too recent a concept?
  • "The only two he played to completion were doubleheaders." — "part of the same doubleheader"?
  • "a pitching duel at first base" — Must have been quite a game, for the pitching duel to be taking place not on the mound but at first base.

Salary dispute (1906–07)

  • "in 1907, the team offered him $4,500 annually" — "annually" seems redundant unless they were offering him a multi-year contract.

Everyday player and manager (1907–08)

  • Is his 1907 Boston salary known?
  • Any reason for all the manager resignations?
    • I think that info would be more appropriate for articles on Young and Huff, not here. The source doesn't give reasons. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 13:57, 3 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • "As Unglaub later recalled" — When?

Washington Senators (1908–10)

  • "In a 595 game career" — In a 595 major league game career?

Later career (1911–16)

Death

  • "Over the offseason" — Just the 1916 offseason, or generally?

Managerial record

  • Is it convention in articles on baseball players to list only the managerial record, and not the playing stats?
    • The stats are listed, just in sentence form at the end of the Washington Senators section. As far as tables go, articles often have them for the managerial record but not for the playing stats. See Alvin Dark as an example. This is different from hockey articles, which always seem to have player stats in a table. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 13:57, 3 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
