This article is well-done. I don't have much to say. The most major comment is probably to explain what rounders is. Placing on hold, and I presume I'll see this at FAC. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 08:34, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

@Sportsfan77777: I think all of your concerns should be addressed now. The typos and such are all fixed (shame on me for not seeing them before!), a couple of sentences on similarities/differences between baseball and rounders have been added, and some more content related to Cartwright Day has been incorporated. Hopefully that's everything. Giants2008 (Talk) 02:47, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

Passing. You can decide if you want to add back any of the recent changes from today. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 18:15, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
