GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

1. Is it well written?

   A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:

   Well done.

   B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:

   In the lead, "The game took place on October 4, 1948 between the Cleveland Indians and Boston Red Sox" ---> "The game took place on October 4, 1948, between the Cleveland Indians and Boston Red Sox", commas after dates, if using MDY. [In the lead], please link "American League" once. In the Game summary section, please link "Eddie Robinson" to its correspondence article, as at the moment it stands out as a disambiguation. In the Aftermath section, second paragraph and the beginning of the sentence, do you mean "The Red Sox's"?

Fixes made. Easy changes to make at least, was worried I was slacking on a part or something. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 02:59, 16 June 2010 (UTC) reply

One more minor thing to do. No, everything read well, so you don't have to worry about that. :) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 14:41, 16 June 2010 (UTC) reply

American League is linked at the end of the first paragraph; or do I need to link it elsewhere too? Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 16:24, 16 June 2010 (UTC) reply

It's linked twice; in the beginning and end of the first paragraph of the lead. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 16:34, 16 June 2010 (UTC) reply

-facepalm- fixed now. I thought you meant it wasn't linked at all at first, lol. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 17:06, 16 June 2010 (UTC) reply

Actually, it's my fault for not explaining it better. I'm just glad it's dealt with. Anyways, thank you to Wizardman for getting the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 17:13, 16 June 2010 (UTC) reply
