Comments

Huge amount of white space between end of tables and images. I think setting it to 80-85% would be better.
Per WP:GTL notes should come after see also.

Both fixed. Albacore (talk) 21:28, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For some reason 80% jacked up the layout on my screen, which is a standard screen, though 80% works on other lists, so I changed it to 76%. Will look at this nom more. PumpkinSky talk 23:08, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Would prefer (note, prefer) to see "ten" rather than "10" in the lead image. I believe MOSNUM covers that.
"The Athletics formed in 1901 as the Philadelphia Athletics. After moving to Kansas City for twelve years, the Athletics relocated to Oakland in 1969. " merge these two, it reads too clunky.
Dab - Eric Young.
"on base" -> "on-base".
Link steal in the lead.
What's a " single-game doubles record,"? link if possible.
Link walk in the lead. Assume your reader is, like me, MLB-averse.
Simmons caption needs a period.
Why is the career column so wide?
Cramer's caption needs a period.
Can you make it clear somewhere as of what date these stats are correct?
Refs 7 and 33 have URLs but no access dates?

One's a link to a book, another to a magazine; I've heard at FLC not to have accessdates when you are linking to an online version of the book. All taken care of besides that. Albacore (talk) 02:22, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure I understand why. If they're accessible online they can have an accessdate can't they? The Rambling Man (talk) 16:58, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed per Template:Cite book. Albacore (talk) 23:38, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –

RBI should be spelled out in a lead.
The double link in the third paragraph is broken.
Check the spelling of Tommy Bryne in note e.
Also check the spelling of Rickey Henderson's name in the title of ref 4. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 03:18, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

All fixed. Albacore (talk) 12:05, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support – Meets FL standards. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 22:04, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support – Realy good list, I also changed the 70% of the table width to 69%.
