I don't know enough about this subject to do it, but it is clear that this article needs significant improvement. I've posted a multiple issues template on it. SteelMarinerTalk  07:30, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Wesley M. Curtus, I've expanded the article. Just fyi. – Muboshgu (talk) 04:17, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Hello! I'll be taking a look at this article for the January 2022 GAN backlog drive. If you haven't already signed up, please feel free to join in! Although QPQ is not required, if you're feeling generous, I also have a list of GA nominations of my own right here.


### Infobox and lede
Add (MLB) after "Major League Baseball", since the abbreviation is used later in the lede
Link the three WS years to their respective article
Done – Muboshgu (talk) 22:19, 7 January 2022 (UTC)


### Early life
Good


### Playing career
#### Early career

#### Boston Red Sox
"Along with Tris Speaker as the center fielder and Harry Hooper as the right fielder," → "Along with center fielder Tris Speaker and right fielder Harry Hooper"
Sentence revised with a source that points out that Hooper moved from LF to RF for Duffy. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:43, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
"during Ruth's major league career" → "during the latter's major league career"
"Game 3 and Game 4" → "in both Games 3 and 4"

All done – Muboshgu (talk) 22:51, 7 January 2022 (UTC)


#### Career retrospective
"among the best fielding outfielders" needs some kind of qualification, like in MLB/professional baseball history
I am considering how to better qualify/contextualize this. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:22, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
I can't find great sourcing to describe how good a fielder he was, so I think taking that out and sticking with his stats is the best approach. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:07, 10 January 2022 (UTC)


#### Duffy's Cliff
Good


### Later career
The jump from the '29 market crash to coaching in '31 seems a little tenuous – any way to elaborate on what happened as an immediate result of the crash?
The hint that I goofed is that the sentence on the '29 market crash was cited with the article written by Tim Murnane in 1912. Oops. The SABR bio makes the connection of losing his nestegg in the market crash and returning to baseball to make money, and this article from 1967 does as well. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:45, 7 January 2022 (UTC)


### Later life
I wouldn't mention his wife's death until after their relocation to Salem; it comes as a little bit of a shock that she dies at the end of one paragraph but is alive in the next
Rearranged. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:56, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
