I am nominating this for featured list because I feel it has been improved significantly over the past few months and now meets all 6 FL criteria. —Bloom6132 (talk) 00:32, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Comments from Crisco 1492

• The inaugural winner was Alvin Dark. - Why did he get it?

:*I've checked all the free [http://www.google.ca/search?q=alvin+dark+lou+gehrig+memorial+award&hl=en&tbo=d&tbm=nws&source=lnt&tbs=ar:1&sa=X&ei=BAYbUZPJM6aF4AT47oC4CA&ved=0CCMQpwUoBQ&biw=1280&bih=621 Google News archive] articles, but none of them explain why Dark won the award. I was basing the "inaugural winner sentence" off the Hutch Award FL, which bluntly states the Mick won it. —Bloom6132 (talk) 03:28, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

::*Anything on the award's site? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:06, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

:::*No, nothing much. It just states he was a PDT member at LSU. And the site only delves into specific details for the last seven winners. —Bloom6132 (talk) 06:40, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

• Why no winner for 2012? When is the winner selected?

:*According to [http://www.baseball-almanac.com/awards/aw_lg.shtml Baseball Almanac], the 2012 winner will be announced in June 2013. However, the award date changes frequently, as Derek Jeter won the 2010 award in January 2011. —Bloom6132 (talk) 03:28, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

• Images look fine (no action required)

:Looks very solid. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:59, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

::Thank you for your feedback Crisco! Cheers. —Bloom6132 (talk) 03:28, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

• Perhaps elaborate a bit more on what is meant by "the character and integrity of Lou Gehrig". From what I read further down in the lead it seems that this is a award for off-field philanthropic work. I would be nice if the article was a bit more specific about the criteria or what is emphasized in selection.

Otherwise I don't see anything else to pick on. Arsenikk ^(talk) 18:17, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

::Unfortunately, the [http://www.phideltatheta.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=27 award's website] itself is pretty vague on what the criteria is. It only stipulates a player who "best exemplifies the spirit and character" of Gehrig "both on and off the field". —Bloom6132 (talk) 02:14, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
