Sammy Byrd

~~... 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?

Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/David Schoen
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).[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
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)[reply]
