Date of redirect removal (just) and length fine. I have added "baseball" to the hook under DYK rules so we know which sport it is. Both hooks are good, I prefer the original but I think the alt is slightly more descriptive. QPQ is not needed as this is his first nomination. No close paraphrasing. Good to go.
