| - I've listed this article for peer review because I want to take this through the FL process, but I want to get as much fixed as possible first. Any problems that are noted will be dealt with quickly, and I appreciate any and all input. Thanks, Neonblak talk - 04:50, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
* "typically a fair hit...at a distance from home base of 250 feet or more, which entitles the batter to legally touch all bases and score without liability." Probably better to say "a hit that allows the batter to reach home plate safely without any errors being committed by the defensive team in the process." Then you could go on to say how it is typically/usually hit out of the park, but can (but atypically/rarely) also be inside-the-park.
* "passes over an outfield fence or into the stands" Hitting the foul pole will also result in a home run.
* "Season" and "Game" headings to "Single season" and "Single game," respectively
* Rather than place a key in every category, it would be better to place one at the very beginning in a separate category (see the FLs 3,000 hit club and 500 home run club for formatting, style, colour-code, etc.). Then you could do away with the designations at the top (e.g. "Most home runs by a pitcher in a season, their total home runs, year, and team") as they would be in the key.
* It would be better to do away with bolding the names of players that have been highlighted, since highlighting suffices (again the same format as the 2 FLs above)
* You should probably use the same shade of blue and double dagger for active pitchers as the ones in the 2 FLs
* You make the judgement call on this one, but I think it would be good to briefly explain why home runs by pitchers are so significant (i.e. they are poor batters who are the only position players excused from the Mendoza Line and are not known for their competent batting, let alone their home run prowess)
* This isn't related to the article itself, but shouldn't this peer review be under the "Lists" section rather than "Everyday Life" (which, along with all other categories, is for articles). Other than that, the list looks very close to reaching FL quality. Hope this helps. Also, it would be great if you could help review the 20–20–20 club list I placed for peer review. I want to take that list to FL quality (just like you want to with this list) and would like as much feedback from as many people as possible. Cheers! —Bloom6132 (talk) 09:48, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
