Seton Hall assistant basketball coach
editI took this out because it wasn't cited or mentioned in the SABR bio. If anyone finds a cite for it, feel free to add it back in.
"Before his 1946 injury from the Spokane bus accident, Geraghty also was a basketball coach, serving as an assistant with the varsity at Seton Hall University." Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 02:44, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

- " but he scored a great deal" - not quite encyclopedic phrasing, can this be reworded?
- What was his total batting average in his brief stints with the Braves? He evidentally must have gotten a hit or two, if his Dodgers batting average was .194 and he finished with .199
- " Geraghty survived one of the greatest tragedies in baseball history" - while I'd be inclined to agree with this statement, it's a bit editorializing. Recommend removing.
- I think the cite I added from SABR backs it up - appropriate paraphrase for "one of baseball’s most terrible accidents." Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 02:15, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
- The SABR bio suggest the drinking problem came from a fear of riding on buses after the crash, is this worth adding?
- I think that's hinted at at least in the personal life section, and for all we know, he may have drunk a lot before the bus crash. If you'd prefer this, I'll add it in, but I don't think it's necessary.
- ""Seven of Spokane Ball Team Die in Bus Crash". Associated Press. June 25, 1946. Retrieved August 24, 2021." - if the AP piece is still on copyright, then this is a WP:COPYLINK problem
- Removed link. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 02:16, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
- The career stats line should specify that he ended with only 9 RBI. It's stated that he had 9 in '36, but it's not clear from the later playing career material that he didn't have any later
- The exact April 17 and September 14 career ending/beginning dates in the infobox aren't specified in the body
- Images and the other sources look fine
Placing on hold. I found this article really interesting; I'd never heard of Geraghty before. Hog Farm Talk 22:26, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
