Nice start! There are just a few things that will need to be addressed before this can be a good article.

Early life and later life

I know Vick is an obscure player from several years ago, but can you find some more personal information on him? Was he ever married, did he have children, what was his illness, how long did he have it, what did he do after his baseball career ended, etc.? If you cannot find this information, don't worry about it, but it would improve the article.

Yankees

Change semicolons in second sentence and second-to-last sentences of second paragraph to colons
Vick's production had a steady, slow decline; finishing the season change ; finishing to ; he finished

Red Sox

Along with Vick heading to the Red Sox, were Muddy Ruel, Del Pratt and Hank Thormahlen in exchange for Waite Hoyt, Harry Harper, Wally Schang and Mike McNally.--Change to "On December 15, 1920, the Yankees traded Vick, Muddy Ruel, Del Pratt, and Hank Thormahlen to the Red Sox for Waite Hoyt, Harry Harper, Wally Schang, and Mike McNally."

Post major league career

He batted .322, hit 16 home runs, as well as 21 doubles and 11 triples.--He batted .322 with 16 home runs, 21 doubles, and 11 triples.
