• Length; 6,109 bytes, and the size and date of expansion both check out fine. Spotchecks reveal no evidence of close paraphrasing. The hook is appropriately referenced in the article. I would like to see access dates on the references, but I don't feel that is a necessary requirement for DYK. I do wonder why the hook lists a full team name for baseball, only city names for basketball, and nothing for football? I have also linked "football" to American football due to the obvious ambiguity issues. Harrias ^talk 14:12, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
