- Comment: Willing to link minor league baseball if necessary. I think alt1 is hookier, but alt0 is more interesting, so please tell me which one you would be more likely to click yourself.

New enough and long enough. QPQ exempt. Hook facts check out to source and are in article. No textual issues (though I wish the Roys criticism was also in body, HistoryTheorist. Hook decision is promoter's call, though I lean ALT0 (and maybe "minor-league" hyphenated). Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 06:57, 10 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
- Julie Roys criticism is in the body but without her name attached. I will promptly do so and attach. ❤History Theorist❤ 19:31, 10 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
