Created by Giants2008 (talk). Self-nominated at 02:48, 30 January 2023 (UTC). Note: As of October 2022, all changes made to promoted hooks will be logged by a bot. The log for this nomination can be found at Template talk:Did you know nominations/1857 baseball convention, so please watch a successfully closed nomination until the hook appears on the Main Page.

Article is neutral, meets the required length, and is sufficiently referenced—created on 30 January, the same day as this nomination. Hooks are succinct, neutral, and reliably sourced; they're both interesting, but I'd say ALT1 is probably more accessible for general readers. AGF on offline sources. QPQ looks good. This is good to go! – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 16:09, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
