I removed the phrase "and is widely accepted as the weakest member of the hall of fame." because it is more more of an opinion than a fact. Without sources to back up the phrase, I think it should stay out.

Hi, I will be reviewing this article. I have read it through several times and it seems very well done. Nicely and clearly written and a pleasure to read. I just have a few inquiries, mostly about his "controversial" Hall of Fame induction. Even after reading it over, I am unclear why he was elected to the Hall of Fame. The article does mention some talents he had, but doesn't state specifically he was elected for x, y and z. And I don't understand the controversy, based on what is said in the article.
This should state clearly why he was elected why he was elected to the Hall of Fame, since that appears to be his main claim to fame.
Also, the article indicates that his election was "controversial". I think this should me mentioned in the lede also. I am not clear about what the controversy was.
As mentioned above, the controversy, charges of "cronyism". the Veterans Committee was "not selective enough". But this is vague. What was going on? And what where his alleged talents that he was elected?
This is my main issue. Everything else checks out about the article.
I will place it one hold. I may note a few other issues, but I don't see anymore now.
One link needs disambig: American Association which I can do myself.
Placed on hold.

ok, great. That explains a lot. Very helpful. Thank you. Give me a chance to look over the article again, but I don't anticipate any problems, as I have read it a few times already. I realy like these baseball articles that you write.
