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

Lead
  • His height was listed at 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m), and weighed 163 lb.,; change to He stood 5 ft. 10 in. (1.78 m) and weighed 163 lb.,

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.
