Overall: I think ALT0 is ok, ALT 1 and ALT2 don't read so well to me. however, the separate claims need to be cited with the same ref here as is on the article. sabr.org presently backs "encouraged her to sell" and "she kept" but not " first woman to own a Major League Baseball team in 1911" so can the relevant sentence in the article have the sabr.org ref added? further, it's really not clear to me from the article who the "fellow owners" are - sabr.org says it was her mother, which isn't in the article. or do you mean other club owners? if yes then i'd prefer that spelled out that they made offers. so a bit of work is needed to tweak the hook, or if you want to propose an entirely different one, maybe the ladies night factoid might help.

the first woman to own a big league baseball club. "Fellow owners" was referring to the owners of the other seven NL teams who were encouraging her to sell, not her mother the part-owner of the Cardinals, so that will have to be made more clear. – Muboshgu ( talk) 23:33, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
OK I'll answer my requests myself and ask for a second review. The two new ALTs with citations are:

Hello! I'll be reviewing this article to help reduce the good article nomination backlog and to gain points in the
WP:WIKICUP. Although quid pro quo is not required, if you fancy returning the favor, I have a list of articles in need of review

"Both Chicago businessman Charles Weeghman and James McGill, the president of the Denver Bears of the Western League,[7] attempted to buy the Cardinals from Britton,[8] but she resolved to keep the team.[1] Britton attended National League owner meetings where other owners spent time trying to persuade her to sell the team because she was a woman.[9]"
Reference 9 is from 2016 and does not contain any RS that she was pressured because of gender. A RS is needed from the era and not a wistful article from 60 years later with no quotes from fellow baseball team owners, 1950s newspaper quotes or primary works. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:D591:5F10:A54B:64D:ADC6:C65C ( talk) 06:48, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
