The Wikipedia Baseball Article Improvement Drive

For some reason I'm becoming the font of wiki-related suggestions...

Wikipedia has just announced an effort to improve all their baseball-related articles to featured article status.  Information about this project can be found here.

Projects such as this involve two stages: first, each week, Wikipedians nominate and vote on a single article to focus on during the next week.  Then the article that gets the most votes is the focus of the project effort for the next week. For example, the following articles are currently under consideration to be the first featured article (voting ends this Sunday): New York Yankees, Nolan Ryan, Dave Stieb, Cy Young, Steve Garvey, Players League, Catfish Hunter (I'm not providing links 'cause I'm lazy and you can just go to the project page linked to above and follow the links from there).

Since ANers are a truly impressive repository of baseball knowledge I figure some of us might be willing and able to help all stages of this project.  I imagine there'd be particular interest in Catfish Hunter if the article on him becomes the focus of the Article Improvement Drive.
