What people know (especially "best know") is off topic, almost always uncitable. Revised to straightforward/encyclopedic "played".Tag: Reverted

→1962–1963: Empire: Couldn't figure out why it was characterized as "another" except to editorialize about there being many of them (?), which is off-topic editorializing. Removed the rest of the side detail as well (about the show) as a slight off topic digression and just easier to leave out.Tag: Reverted

Subjective, uncited ("respected and beloved"). What people "remember" is off topic, unencyclopedic style. Off topic digression especially in lede ("starring Eve Arden").Tag: Reverted

"peripherally remembered" = self-admitted dubious notability. Way too much detail for something so "peripheral". Trimmed down, got rid of the unencyclopedic "peripherally remembered". (If a matter really *is* notable, just say (the matter) straight/confidently w/o hemming or hawing about how notable it is or isn't, include the reliable secondary source(s), and be done.)

Reverted the ambiguous "they". Is it a team that plays? Wait, it says "each player" which suggests individuals, not a group. So, "they" is confusing. I chose the original non-confusing pronoun "his or her" which is imperfect yes (because they dare imply that individual people each have a sex -- oh no!), but clarity trumps agenda here on Wikipedia.

→Two balls and the colour-blind friend: The "they" confusion was bigger than I thought. To be straightforward and clear, and to avoid digressive machinations, I went ahead and picked a sex for the friend and used those pronouns. I picked "Victor" as the "verifier" as in the previous example and went with it.
