Comment: Or if I can think of a good enough pun with the word "platoon", maybe this will be an April Fools Day hook?

5x expanded by Muboshgu (talk). Self nominated at 16:42, 4 February 2014 (UTC).

Article is within policy and meets expansion requirements. ALT2 seems ready to go. The main hook needs some reference that it is baseball, and ALT1 needs softer wording or more refs that it isn't just one person's opinion. QPQ is outstanding.—Bagumba (talk) 05:28, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

QPQ provided. I agree with your points on the hook, so we can just go with ALT2 now. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:44, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

No obstacles with QPQ resolved. Go with ALT2.—Bagumba (talk) 03:34, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
