... that Bill Duplissea has been said to have the "best eyes in baseball"? Source: Dodd, Rustin (September 17, 2017). "The Royals remain the best at questioning umpires. Here's their secret". Kansas City Star. Retrieved 2023-09-27.

- Comment: The edit history of this article is a bit funky. The article was deleted via an AfD in 2015, a fact that I was totally unaware of until I finished writing it. (I've since undeleted the old revisions.) The old article copy was unreferenced, has not been used in developing the new article, and never appeared on DYK, so I figure that + eight years fulfills the spirit (and letter?) of WP:DYKCRIT.
