Date request: Shall we save this hook for Viola's 90th birthday on Jan.2nd, 2012? --PFHLai (talk) 01:46, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Age, length, sourcing OK. Offline hook ref AGF. Would you like to say something about her birthday for the Jan 2 hook? Yoninah (talk) 01:30, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

I suppose we can put on MainPage:

... that Viola Thompson, a left-handed pitcher in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League in the 1940s and a consultant for the 1992 film A League of Their Own, turns 90 years old today?

but keeping the original hook means we don't have to worry about anything changing in the next two weeks or so. Knock on wood. I hope nothing bad happens to her between now and Jan.2nd. Anyway, I'm happy with either hook variant. Thanks. --PFHLai (talk) 00:51, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

OK. I leave it to the administrator to decide which one to use. Meanwhile, I'll put this under Jan 2. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 12:52, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
