Deacon McGuire

[edit]

X-ray of Deacon McGuire's left hand published in newspapers

  • ... that an x-ray of catcher Deacon McGuire's gnarled left hand (pictured) showed "36 breaks, twists or bumps all due to baseball accidents"?

  • Name, length, date, hook, and checks for plagiarism check out. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 23:45, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
  • Looks like this is good to go, mostly based on Kevin's review. The image is public domain and is used in the article, so it's OK for DYK. The hook is interesting; the sourcing for the hook fact is not accessible to me, but the hook fact is partially supported by refs that I could see (the article is well-supplied with references); AGF on the other refs. I do wish for a comma between "bumps" and "all", but I can't change a direct quotation! --Orlady (talk) 15:27, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
