Comment: It's still under construction, but I'm nominating it ASAP for WP:DYKAPRIL, in case there's still room. The baseball team currently known as the Atlanta Braves used to be in Boston and were known as the "Beaneaters" when he played for them. Comptroller General is the head "bean counter" of the United States. The image is extracted from the file in the "Political career" section"
The article was 5x expanded from ~1000 characters to ~5500 characters today the 13th, so is new enough and obviously long enough. The article reads neutrally and has extensive in-line citations. I will AGF usage of the references from Newspapers.com. And there's no problems from the copyvio detector tool. The hook is short enough, interesting, and a good fit for an April Fool's hook. The subject of the hook is covered with in-line citations in the specific two lines it refers to, so we're good there. The image is a cropped version of an image in the article that is in the public domain, so no problems there. The only thing missing now is the QPQ being done, so we're on hold just for that.
