• "1864–December" spaced en-dash.
• "New York Giants in 1896. " would "in the 1896 season (linked) make more sense?
  • I've been told by baseball reviewers not to link individual seasons before. "In 1896" makes the same amount of sense, and it's how this sort of thing is usually worded. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 15:37, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• "His only MLB appearance was for the Giants on June 3, 1896. " this would probably be better next to the opening sentence, not splitting the MLB discussions with the minor league stuff.
• "the Lebanon, Pennsylvania entry " comma after Pennsylvania.
• "excelling at the catcher position" if no figures are given, how do we know he "excelled"? If it's someone's opinion, probably needs attribution.
• "after his first baseman dropped" overlinked.
• Second external link is a bare URL and liable to linkrot so needs properly formatting.

That's all I have on a first read. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 11:54, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
