5x expanded by Epeefleche (talk). Self nominated at 18:30, 20 August 2013 (UTC).
Article was actually created on August 16, but still new enough and long enough. Hook is short enough and interesting enough. But it should be Major League Baseball (initial caps) since it's a proper noun (I've made that change). Hook is also sourced and appropriately cited. Spot-checking doesn't reveal copyvio or unduly close paraphrasing. Also, automated copyvio check tool reveals no violation. QPQ completed. The only issue I have is with the image which has a Creative Commons Attribution 1.0 Generic license. Per DYK Rule 1.3, images must be freely licensed. I seem to recall discussion (ages ago) on the DYK Talk page indicating that we could not feature images with attribution requirement on the Main Page. Can someone tell me if that has changed, or maybe slap me because I'm mis-remembering and it was never required? Other than the image license question, this appears to be good to go.

I raised the issue at the DYK Discussion Page, and it appears the image is fine from a licensing perspective. So this is good to go, but it probably makes sense to weight a day before promoting (if promotion includes image) to the prep area just to make sure someone doesn't raise a different point of view on the DYK Discussion page.

- Thanks. Fine with me (and the DYK Discussion Page discussion can be found here -- four commenting editors did not see it as a problem). Also -- if anyone wishes to edit that image, for example by lightening and/or cropping it, that would be fine with me as well. I tried, but my pc is having issues. Thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 03:44, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
