The final piece in our joint little topic! KV5 • Talk and Staxringold _talk^contribs 21:01, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support - complete and accurate, references etc., very well written. It's nice to see all this info in one place. Dincher (talk) 22:11, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support - straightforward, succinct to the point...Modernist (talk) 13:31, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Ref #24 (Rules for Election) I can't seem to get working right. It goes to the baseball HOF, but not to any rules. They re-did their site so I'm sure the right link is somewhere; just fix that and I'll support. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 17:24, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is done. — KV5 • Talk • 18:14, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Next stop is FTC (unless I haven't been following this right)! Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 20:23, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

*Comments Not many, all examining the references, this is a high-quality list.

"Sports Reference" or "Sports Reference LLC" as the publisher? (See ref 21 vs. ref 28, though you've got a good number of both). Pick one or the other.

Location for the Post and Courier please- this is far from a well known newspaper. The overarching publisher,Evening Post Publishing Company, wouldn't go amiss either.

"The ESPN Baseball Encyclopedia, Fourth Edition (Espn Baseball Encyclopedia)." Is there a reason the second one is "Espn"? Can't say I've ever seen it written like that.

Think I've gotten them all. Done. — KV5 • Talk • 11:47, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

"reached this total" reads a little odd when it's just a total of two.
"Tim Kurkjian believes" I know he's linked, but you should introduce his significance for non-experts.
"the first to win his third" not keen on this either. I know you're avoiding repeating three, but is there, perhaps, an third alternative?
"1965–1966" vs "1997 and 1998"
"The next year" I'd prefer "following" rather than "next", but it's a personal choice.
[28][5] could you put this (and any others) in numerical order?
Just an aside, have you considered merging the three tables and including the league as a column? It may be nice to compare stats across the leagues.

All done but the first and last; I couldn't find the quoted spot in the article for the first, and I don't know if the last was considered but it's not a long list, so I think it's ok the way it is, especially since the individual league triple crowns are more in focus that way. — KV5 • Talk • 15:55, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I meant "reach this total". As for merging, no big deal. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:57, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Done. — KV5 • Talk • 16:10, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
