You need to fix the use of the player's first name initial and last name being used often in News Stories. I don't remember seeing this before. It looks like it showed up in 1.0.3.

"A. Pujols hammered a home run" just isn't used in the body of a News Story.

I didn't even remember this being a token.

We had one for "last name only", "first name only" (which I didn't use except when a manager commented about the performance in a News Story quote)...and "first and last name".

Something needs to be done about the [%string]...many times the same verb is repeated over and over in "3 homers" and "opening day schedule".
