Comments: Feel free to disagree with anything.

• His full name is not sourced. Start the first sentence of the body with the following sentence: "Vern Donald Freiburger was born on December 19, 1923 in Detroit, Michigan.
• Body doesn't have his death date.
• "Detroit Eastern High School" No link for that I guess?
• Do you know what level of the minors the Flint Arrows were in?
• "which they won, 3-2." change - to –
• "Freiburger made his major league debut a couple weeks later on September 6 in a doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers, and was 17 when he made his major league debut, and was the youngest player in the American League that season" Could you reword this a little or split it into two sentences. "made his major league debut" is repeated twice in that one sentence.
• "His second and final appearance in a game was against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium, and had one hit and one run batted in." change to "His second and final appearance in a game was against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium, where he had one hit and one run batted in."
• "In 84 minor league games he had a batting average of .318." That was just for that season right?
• "Hespent" add a space
• "the 1946 season with the Charleston Rebels and the Wilkes-Barre Barons, where he played 69 total games and finished the year with a combined batting average of .222." Do you know what level of the minors or league those teams were in?
• "The following year, he faced two other minor league players for the starting first base job" That means the Indians starting job right?
• "He lost the position battle, and spent the season with the Concord Weavers and Rock Hill Chiefs, playing in 90 total games between the two teams" Do you know what level of the minors or league those teams were in?
• I went ahead and added six minor league team categories.
• I changed Wilkes-Barre Barons to Wilkes-Barre Barons (baseball).
• He is in Category:Emporia Rebels players but that isn't mentioned in the article?
• Lead: "who started two games for the Cleveland Indians on September 6 and September 15 during the 1941 season" Body doesn't say he started. If I just read the body, it looks like he only had one at-bat in the second game.

Spot checks:

• "Tips From The Press Boxes". The Sunday Morning Star. April 13, 1941.
  • That source doesn't say the Detroit Fireman's League was Class A. It says he started playing for the "Detroit Firemen's Midget league" when he was 12. And in 1940, he played in the Class A amateur group but not sure if that means the Firemen's league or the American Legion?

• "Vern Freiburger 1941 Batting Gamelogs". Baseball-Reference.com
  • Looks good

• "Vern Freiburger Minor League Statistics and History". Baseball-Reference.com.
  • Looks good

• "Michigan League Divides Reserve". Ludington Daily News. February 13, 1942
  • Looks good.

Nice article! ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 21:41, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

I'll make the changes shortly. One thing I did notice though is apparently the Emporia Nationals renamed to the Emporia Rebels in 1951, so it's the same team. Somehow never noticed that until today. I can add in a note as such if you think it's necessary but since it's the same team I figure it's probably fine. Wizardman 01:56, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

"He remained with the Nationals through the 1951 season" maybe just change "Nationals" to "Emporia" there? ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 13:52, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

All issues now fixed, thanks for the review! Wizardman 01:48, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
