Having previously reviewed Evers, I might as well make the full double play. Comments to follow in the next 1-3 days; thanks as always for your work on these. -- Khazar2 (talk) 15:23, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

After these, I'm planning on taking Baseball's Sad Lexicon to GA to make it a Good Topic. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:07, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That's a fun idea--good luck with it. -- Khazar2 (talk) 12:15, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, on first pass, I don't see any issues here. Prose looks solid, research looks good, and in general it seems to be your usual high-quality work. As usual I've made a few tweaks that you should feel free to revert. -- Khazar2 (talk) 12:15, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
