The write-up tries to explain the depiction of "Joe" playing for Lebanon:

"True, Ruth and Jackson were officially listed on different clubs (e.g., Jackson with Wilmington and Ruth with Lebanon), but typical for this league were players jumping clubs on a daily basis, easily substantiating their undisputable representation on this unprecedented offering."

First of all he offers no evidence of this. Second, he doesn't even bother to try and identify where Hornsby and Coveleskie can be seen, yet has them "providing fine co-star roles". Finally, the word usage and grammar alone as used by this writer should lead to his or her public thrashing--"crystal clear clarity"? a memento serving as a reminder? (each taken from the Department of redundancy department). Back away from the thesaurus Roget.

Oh, and his 2014 write-up about this "unprecedented offering" is belied by his own previous offering in 2011--um, you might want to look up the meaning of "unprecedented" there Hemingway.
