Project news

Showcase

edit

Pedro Martínez played during 18 seasons in Major League Baseball, blossoming into the game's dominant pitcher while playing for the Montreal Expos and the Boston Red Sox. A three-time Cy Young Award recipient, Martínez helped the Red Sox win their first World Series title in 86 years. He was selected for entry into the Baseball Hall of Fame this year, his first year of eligibility.

Martínez's article is currently rated at B-class; it has lots of details but could use some re-organization and tidying up. Will you take up the challenge of improving any of the articles for this year's inductees, none of which are above B-class? Let's get them in top form before their Cooperstown plaques are unveiled!
