I'll take on this review, as part of the July 2021 Backlog Drive.

Lead

• [John Fulton Woods (January 18, 1898 – October 4, 1946) was a professional baseball pitcher.] I'd suggest adding "... and police officer". I appreciate that it's his MLB appearance that makes him pass Wikipedia notability standards, but his law enforcement career seems to have been as big a part of his life.

• [during his career ...] Capitalise "During".

College

• [After completing East River,] I'd expect "completing high school" rather than "completing {name of high school}", but disregard if you're confident this phrasing is commonly used.

• Wikilink timekeeper

Minor league career

• [Woods would not pitch in the major leagues for Boston] I'd add "again" since he did do so once previously.

Norfolk Police Department

• Wikilink chief of police

Personal life

• [The Woods's had three children] I think this should be "Woodses", based on this article.

Summary

• Just a few minor points - I'll await your response on the above.--Harper J. Cole (talk) 16:50, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Looking good! I'll promote to GA status. It's interesting to read about these less-celebrated figures; nice work on this article.--Harper J. Cole (talk) 20:25, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
