... that Babe Ruth's legs could really hit a golf ball?- ALT1:... that Sammy Byrd (pictured) is the only person to play in a World Series and a Masters Tournament?

- Comment: ALT0 is an April Fools Day proposal. ALT1 is there in case AFD is already full. Image proposal is only for non-AFD hook, as otherwise it'd spoil the surprise.
5x expanded by Muboshgu (talk). Self-nominated at 19:07, 20 February 2021 (UTC).
5x expansion, long enough, within policy, interesting hooks and QPQ. Minor quibble: the newspapers.com references need a bit of tidying up. They should have "url-access=subscription" and the "at" should be removed from the titles. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:22, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
- Clarityfiend, thanks for the review. Newspapers.com is a great wealth of information, but manually doing refs is a pain. I will work on these for before it's posted. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:14, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
- Scratching the ALT0 for whoever promotes, as that was my April Fools Day proposal and I have two others now set to go up on AFD. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:16, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
Baseball card in golf section of infobox?
Why and how is his baseball card in the golf section of the infobox? I'd say it probably clutters it and just having it appear in the article is fine, especially since it's presence in the golf section is confusing. However, as I went to remove it I discovered that I don't know. I only see the image called one time in the article itself, and anything I try and do to the infobox both breaks it and doesn't remove the baseball card. I'm guessing it's something to do with wikidata, but I'm even more out of my depth there. 1brianm7 (talk) 17:55, 22 May 2026 (UTC)
