Needs some work

Nice article - assuming someone is looking for this much detail - but it needs some work. Commas seem to be a little out of control to me making for a very choppy read. Also, the usage of "two" vs. "2", etc. is very inconsistent. I've also seen a few misspellings including some player names that sent me scrambling to baseball-reference.com to find out who it was supposed to refer to. I'll do a few of the glaring changes that I want to see but I'd want to find out if anyone is looking for this much detail before getting further entrenched. —Wknight94 (talk) 23:25, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the stats of Burdette cordoned off by themselves seems awkward and very non-standard. I'm looking through other individual World Series articles preparing to overhaul World Series itself and this one is standing out as one that was given a lot of loving attention - but also one that doesn't quite work and definitely doesn't fit with the rest. —Wknight94 (talk) 23:31, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at the section leveling as well. —Wknight94 (talk) 23:35, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have attempted to give the article a thorough once-over, which took care of a lot of the copyediting needs (parallel structure, consistent numerals, etc.). I felt the tone was very sports-editorial-y and tried to trim the fat a little bit in that regard. Obviously, my feelings won't be hurt if someone wants to add some of that back in. I am also NOT familiar with baseball in this time period so wasn't able to confirm any of the spelling of the players' names. (ESkog)^(Talk) 05:54, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I did some more trimming based on comments on this page. More may be required. No Guru 19:18, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
