I think this article is quite informative. I have only a few comments. I've made some edits that your free to revert.[1]
The lede doesn't give him justice I don't think. For example apparently was a talented if inconsistent manager, the youngest hired by the Yankees at that time at age 23. (I'm not suggesting that you put this in the lede necessarily, as you know best, but after reading the lede I was surprised at all he achieved.)
I have added that he was the youngest manager to the lead. I'm not sure what else should be added there, at this point the lead seems fairly comprehensive to me. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:36, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
" and signed him to his first professional contract. After choosing Ray Chapman over Peckinpaugh, the Naps traded him to the Yankees in 1913." - don't understand - was his first professional contract with the Naps, who decided they preferred Chapman for for shortstop so traded him without his actually playing for them?
First contract was with the Naps. They also had Chapman for the same position, and decided they preferred Chapman, though Peckinpaugh did play for them. I don't think Chapman's role is important enough for the lead, so I took it out. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:10, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
" Out of professional baseball, Peckinpaugh joined Lew Fonseca on nationwide baseball tours, which involved the viewing of a movie and technical demonstrations." So after the 1934 session, no one hired him?
