  • ... that Frank Scheibeck played professional baseball in Detroit in three different decades and three different leagues between 1888 and 1906?

5x expanded by Cbl62 (talk). Self nominated at 22:48, 5 January 2014 (UTC).

  • 5× expansion of August 2 version completed within 5 days, from 154 characters to 3,249 characters now. No copyright violations detected – Baseball Reference contains no prose (just stats and numbers), the two Detroit Free Press online articles are behind a paywall, while the rest of the sources are offline. Article is well-sourced. Hook is 138 characters long (under the 200 character max. limit) and is very interesting. Refs 1 and 2 (verifying the hook) are both reliable sources coming from Baseball-Reference.com. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 21:42, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
