Failed GA[edit]
While the prose is ok, I have some other issues, especially about the sources and rather lack of info.
- The article seems short, especially on something that could easily be expanded with use of books or magazines, and even the web, very little info, every decade has only a sentence. Who got the idea for broadcasting baseball on radio?, It's not comprensive.
- Some of the sources aren't strongly reliable and others I don't see the point, like source number #8 for example is a blog, #11, #21, and #23 are forums, and those are no-no's, I don't get the point of source #24, and others seems like overuse of sources. They should be in Template:Cite web format.
- The only image is the article has no tag on it, a good fair use claim can be used though.

AFR[edit]
I used to listen to baseball games on Armed Forces Radio while living in the UK. AFR hasn't been mentioned in the article. Seasider53 (talk) 22:21, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
