... that Jonathan Gray turned down a $500,000 offer from the New York Yankees?

Reviewed: ~~IOU~~ First QPQ from Template:Did you know nominations/Andreas Tegström
Comment: Could probably find a better hook than that...

ALT1: ... that Jonathan Gray turned down a $500,000 offer from the New York Yankees so that he could attend the University of Oklahoma?

Created by Muboshgu (talk). Self nominated at 17:39, 22 April 2013 (UTC).

Nomination was posted within the time guidelines of a new article, is long enough, and is eligible for DYK. The subject is notable, free from any disputes, and follows the guideline for a biography of a living person. The hook is verified from a reliable source and does not plagarize the author. It is interesting, "hooky", neutral, is properly formatted, and is of appropriate length. Needs a WP:QPQ however. Might I suggest another alt for the people out there who don't understand baseball/sports? Neonblak ^talk - 20:06, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

ALT2: ... that Jonathan Gray turned down a $500,000 offer to play baseball for the New York Yankees so that he could attend the University of Oklahoma?

My bad, I thought I had caught up on my QPQ reviews. I'm perfectly fine with that slight rewrite in the hook. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:04, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

The areas of concern were resolved, ALT2 looks good to me to move forward.Neonblak ^talk - 22:16, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
