The article currently says he attended "Pomona Junior College", linking to Pomona College. However, Pomona College has never gone by that name and has no associated preparatory school (after 1911), so I would check to make sure there's not some mistake. There's also Cal Poly Pomona, which (unlike Pomona College) is actually in the city of Pomona, CA. {{u| Sdkb}} talk 20:49, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Sanfranciscogiants17, it looks like you are almost a one-man show right now when it comes to baseball GA nominations, and I appreciate your work. I am looking forward to reviewing this one, as I am not yet very familiar with Pearson's career. I suspect that I will learn many new things. Thank you for continuing to enhance Wikipedia's coverage of the national pastime. I hope to leave some initial feedback by this weekend.

I'll leave some section-by-section feedback. I think most of this is just going to be rewording here and there to increase readability. The big stuff seems just fine: Earwig's didn't turn up any significant copyright issues (detected one WP mirror and the direct quotes); the image seems to have appropriate public domain information and a caption; and the article is stable and neutral other than a few things noted below.
Some of these bullets are definitely not barriers to GA status, so feel free to let me know if you disagree with these. After you address this stuff, I may run through and make minor copyedits on things I might have missed the first time.
Job well done. There is a lot of content and it is presented very well. I anticipate that you won't have any trouble addressing this feedback and getting the entry promoted to GA. Thanks again for your work! Larry Hockett ( Talk) 06:18, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for addressing these items. If you're interested in adding one more detail, I ran across a couple of sources indicating that Pearson was born with spina bifida and suggesting that this predisposed him to the back injuries sustained at the end of his playing career. It's confusing though, because spina bifida presents with a wide range of severity (a big exposed cyst on the back requiring prompt surgery as a baby, versus a totally closed problem that may be detected in adulthood, if ever). I don't see any sources that go into enough detail to make those distinctions.
I'm going to pass this now.
