[edit] Good Article nomination has failed
The Good article nomination for Jason Varitek has failed, for the following reason:
- The lead section needs to summarise the article's content - it's too brief at the moment. Section headings take sentence capitalisation (see WP:MOS). 'Trivia' sections are bad: if a fact is trivial, omit it, but if it's significant, it shouldn't be isolated in a trivia section. And a lengthy list of awards is not really encyclopaedic - you should mention the most notable in the text but no need to list them all. Worldtraveller 17:43, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mariners
He was indeed in the M's farm system, but according to his stats on MLB.com, he never played a game in the majors as a Mariner.

[edit] Nickname
I'm not sure if 'Quadzilla' can really be considered a nickname for Varitek; while it was made up during a prominent episode of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, it doesn't seem to have caught on. A Google search of 'quadzilla varitek' only has about 100 hits, with most being commentary about or references to the Queer Eye episode. Unless someone else objects, I think it should probably be deleted, or maybe moved to a later part of the article as a passing reference, not in the opening section.
