- "The award is named for former collegiate..." same problem was in the Branch Rickey Award article. For should be replaced by after
:*Done. —Bloom6132 (talk) 21:37, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
- "It is considered to be the Heisman Trophy of college baseball." Context is needed for non-American readers, who do not know what the Heisman Trophy is. For example what sport is the award related to?
To date, three winners
:*Done. —Bloom6132 (talk) 21:37, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
- Again next sentence, In total is redundant
:*Done. —Bloom6132 (talk) 21:37, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
- "Jason Jennings and Buster Posey proceeded to achieve the Rookie of the Year Award..." I think won would suffice in place of proceeded to achieve
:*Agreed. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:40, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
- Not a fan of sentences starting with In 1999 etc. Would change sentence in question to: "The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) became the voting body in 1999
:*Sure. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:40, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
- Why is (x) next to Player in the key?
:*From the explanation in the key, the (x) is used to designate the "number of times [a player] had won the award at that point". —Bloom6132 (talk) 21:42, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
- Image in infobox could do with alt text
:*Added. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:41, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
- Don't think we need five external links per WP:EL I would cut them down to two or three
NapHit (talk) 21:24, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
:*Cut down to three. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2012 (UTC)}}

- Remove unneeded bold in the first key table per MOS:ACCESS
:*The bold was added here because this is what it would have looked like with only the scope row format and no "plain row headers" parameter. Plus, the column headers are bold, so I think the key should reflect that. —Bloom6132 (talk) 17:22, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
- Add table caption to second table per MOS:DTT
:*The main heading already says "Winners" at the top, with regards to the second table. Will that suffice, or does an additional caption have to be added? —Bloom6132 (talk) 09:21, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
:**No, see MOS:DTT. And, since it isn't directly under that header. Please add. TBrandley 13:43, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
:::*Done. —Bloom6132 (talk) 17:22, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
- Remove unneeded period dots on external links
:*Done.—Bloom6132 (talk) 09:18, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

{{hidden/FC|headerstyle=background:#ccf;|contentstyle=border:1px #ccf solid; padding:10px;|header=Resolved comments from The Rambling Man (talk) 09:18, 8 October 2012 (UTC)|content=Comments very good, just a couple of things:
- Ref 16, should be The New York Times.
:*Done. —Bloom6132 (talk) 09:14, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
- In the template, Rodriguez is a redirect, so when viewing Rodriguez's page, the link still appears visible and redirects to itself...
:*Done. Removed the "...(baseball)" suffix from Rodriguez's template name. —Bloom6132 (talk) 09:14, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Comment – In the Robin Ventura photo caption, there should be a "the" before the trophy's name.Giants2008 (Talk) 03:36, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
:*Done. —Bloom6132 (talk) 10:05, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Comments
:*who died of brain cancer in 1987 at the age of 51. - Is the age necessary?
::*Yes. Dying at 51 is fairly young and sudden, so mentioning this sort of justifies why the award is named after him (i.e. in memoriam to him). —Bloom6132 (talk) 00:19, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
:*In that same year, the award was presented to Mike Fiore, the inaugural winner. - Should preferably state immediately that it was created that year "In that same year, the award was established by (who?) and presented to Mike Fiore.", perhaps
::*To my surprise, I haven't been able to find a website that states who it was established by. The official website says nothing about the establishment and Baseball Almanac (which has the most in-depth background info IMO) only says when it was created and who votes for the winner. Sorry. —Bloom6132 (talk) 00:30, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
:::*Okay, perhaps just explicitly state that it was created in 1987? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:49, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
::::*I found something. It was created by friends of Howser in the St. Petersburg area.[http://www.gocreighton.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=1000&ATCLID=205153676] – Muboshgu (talk) 00:58, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
:* now presents the award together with the St. Petersburg Chamber of Commerce - I think that it is in Florida is worth noting, rather than Pennsylvania or Russia.
::*Done. —Bloom6132 (talk) 00:19, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
