A fact from Francisco Herrera (baseball) appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 3 September 2020 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Los Angeles Dodgers
ball boyChico Herrera became a fan favorite after making impressive plays in
pre-season games, and inspired the catchphrase "Don't Run on Chico"?
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or

Los Angeles Dodgersball boyChico Herrera became an unlikely fan favorite after making impressive plays when put on the squad for preseason
scrimmage games, and inspired the catchphrase "Don't Run on Chico"? Source: "Chico, No. 97, fired a strike to second base that easily beat Taylor for a double play. Both teams erupted with cheers and laughter inside an empty Dodger Stadium. The lesson was clear: Don’t run on Chico." in LA Times

New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. I have tagged one sentence where a verb seems to be missing; I don't understand what the first part of the sentence means. Image is freely licensed, though I'm wondering why a Twitter page is public domain. No QPQ needed for nominator with less than 5 DYK credits.
Your hook is over the maximum limit of 200 characters, but more importantly, it is not really a "hook"—that is, an interesting tidbit that will "reel" readers in to reading your article. Instead, you are saying everything there is to say about the subject and giving the reader no reason to click on the article and read more. Could you suggest a hook that is shorter and punchier? Maybe play around with the "Don't Run on Chico" part. Thanks,

Thanks for rescuing this,
evrik. Article issues have been resolved and the ALT1 hook is verified and cited inline. I unlinked the piped link and also reduced the sea of blue. ALT1 good to go.
