I'm not sure about the Larry Doby's birth year. Some sources say 1923, others say 1924. I'm going with 1923, because that is the year in MLB's obituary of Doby. [1] RADICALBENDER ★ 18:54, 15 May 2004 (UTC)
is there a good biography out there about doby? Kingturtle 23:07, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
About this nugget, "During the 1997 season, when the long-departed Jackie Robinson's number 42 was being retired throughout baseball, and the still-living Larry Doby was being virtually ignored by the media, an editorial in Sports Illustrated pointed out that Doby had to suffer the same indignities that Robinson did, and with nowhere near the media attention and implicit support."
Does anyone have the original editorial article handy, or at least know in which issue it was published?Perplexed 15:44, 9 June 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Perplexed ( talk • contribs)

I've been asked to help peer-review this for possible advancement to FA. I made some technical edits for footnote placement and the like, and more neutral language in one instance. It's a long and well-written article with encyclopedic tone. Without combing through it, the only significant addition I would make is to caption and identify the image "Larry Doby 1951.jpg," a Bowman baseball card. -- Tenebrae ( talk) 20:48, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

I'll review this article soon. Since this article is part of my big project, I'm going to give this a rather strict review to make sure everything looks good with it. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 14:57, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
Here are some comments to start off:
Those will probably take a bit of time, but once the refs are fixed the article should be a bit easier to modify. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 16:49, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
Comments on early life section:
Looks good. Here's the rest of my comments:
I'm through the 1948 season paragraph, and before I continue I'd like to see the post-48 years expanded a bit. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 22:06, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
Let me know when you're done with the expansion and I'll add in my final comments. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 03:51, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
Looks far better now. Here are the remainder of my comments:
I'll put the article on hold, and once everything's addressed here I'll pass it. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 02:19, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
Done I added more details to the '58 section. I feel the '59 season is pretty well addressed already. There is plenty in the article regarding his ankle injury in '59 and subsequent attempts in '60 to make a team (either MLB or Int'l League) that I believe the reader is well informed. I have included a reference to an article ('61) which mentions Doby being "retired", but of course, he would go to play in the NPB in '62. I feel in Oct. '62, after he had played with the Dragons, would serve as his "official" retirement as a player. Just like NPB stats, however, I have not been able to turn up an "official" announcement quote from him after that episode. Also, there is a red link with reference #68; I can make it non-linkable text if you'd wish, but am OK with there being a red link for a page not yet created. All the other items you've mentioned have been edited/changed, however, and per your review, believe this article is now ready to be recognized as a GA!

Wizardman asked me to look at this section with a view to FAC. I did some cutting, which anyone can freely revert if I've messed anything up.

Since the Cleveland baseball team changed its name to "The Guardians," some parts of the article inconsistently use that current name in historical context. Meanwhile, the deprecated old name, "Indians," is used throughout much of the article. Should the old name be replaced with the new name? If it's decided to replace the old name, there should be mention early in the article that original name was replaced with the current name.~~ Abebenjoe ( talk) 03:18, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
