Lead

• "He batted and threw right-handed. Unglaub stood 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) and weighed 178 pounds (81 kg)." — Doesn't appear in body of article.

• Not addressed. --Usernameunique (talk) 02:59, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

• "Though he got the starts" — Odd wording.

Early life

• "John and Minnie" — John and Minnie Unglaub?
• "Upon Unglaub's graduation from high school" — Do you know the name of the high school?
  • No. The Russo book says he graduated from high school, but doesn't specify which one. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 13:44, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
• "pitching under his middle name of Alexander" — Any idea why? I've heard of a pen name before, but never a pitching name.
  • Sources didn't say. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 13:44, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
• "Unglaub also played for semipro teams on Maryland's Eastern Shore" — Any more details?
  • No. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 13:57, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
• Any stats/details of his collegiate career?
  • No. 13:57, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Early seasons (1901–03)

• Where did the Meriden Silverites play? What year did he sign with them?
• Where did Worcester play? Massachusetts?

• Not addressed. --Usernameunique (talk) 03:02, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

• As with Lincoln, they're linked, so no need to give the location. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 03:18, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

• "also played the 1901 season" — Does this mean he played in Worcester in both 1900 and 1901, or that he played in both Meriden and Worcester in 1901?
• Any other relevant stats from this period?
  • No. Stats aren't often available for minor league teams from this era. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 13:57, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

First taste of the major leagues (1904–05)

• What does "unknown transaction" mean?
• "an earlier trade" — Link to player to be named later, or is that too recent a concept?
• "The only two he played to completion were doubleheaders." — "part of the same doubleheader"?
  • No, which is why doubleheaders is plural. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 13:57, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
• "a pitching duel at first base" — Must have been quite a game, for the pitching duel to be taking place not on the mound but at first base.

Salary dispute (1906–07)

• "in 1907, the team offered him $4,500 annually" — "annually" seems redundant unless they were offering him a multi-year contract.

Everyday player and manager (1907–08)

• Is his 1907 Boston salary known?
  • No. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 13:57, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
• Any reason for all the manager resignations?
  • I think that info would be more appropriate for articles on Young and Huff, not here. The source doesn't give reasons. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 13:57, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
• "As Unglaub later recalled" — When?
  • The clipping this is from is undated. The main point is that he recalled it later on. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 13:57, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Washington Senators (1908–10)

• "In a 595 game career" — In a 595 major league game career?

Later career (1911–16)

• Lincoln Railsplitters — Location?
  • They're linked, so no need to give the location. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 13:57, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
• Any stats from these years?
  • No. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 13:57, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Death

• "Over the offseason" — Just the 1916 offseason, or generally?

Managerial record

• Is it convention in articles on baseball players to list only the managerial record, and not the playing stats?
  • The stats are listed, just in sentence form at the end of the Washington Senators section. As far as tables go, articles often have them for the managerial record but not for the playing stats. See Alvin Dark as an example. This is different from hockey articles, which always seem to have player stats in a table. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 13:57, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Looks good, Sanfranciscogiants17. There are two minor points above, but nothing to prevent from passing now. --Usernameunique (talk) 03:09, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
