Chicago Cubs — The team was founded in 1870, but the STATS section lists 'Founded=1876'.
Defining Eras — The Cubs' 103 losses in 1966 remain the franchise record for most losses in a season; they have not lost more than 103 in any season since, so the claim that the record stood until 2012 is incorrect.
Retired Legendary Players — The entry is about the Chicago Bears, not the Chicago Cubs. The requested topic is 'Retired Legendary Players' for the Chicago Cubs, but the entire entry describes the Chicago Bears franchise.
Retired Legendary Players — The first retired number listed is 14 (Ernie Banks), which is correct for the Cubs, but the rest of the entry (team history, founding, colors, etc.) is entirely about the Bears, not the Cubs.
Rivalries — The 1912 City Series was not a Major League postseason series, so the claim that it was 'the first time in a Major League Baseball postseason series that a team overcame a 3–0 series deficit' is inaccurate.
Stable History — The entry incorrectly lists McMichael's death date as April 23, 2025; as of the knowledge cutoff, McMichael is still alive.
Stable History — The entry states the Cubs were founded in 1870 as the White Stockings, but the Cubs organization officially recognizes 1876 as the start of their National League tenure.
Well-Established History — The claim that the Cubs are 'the earliest formed active professional sports club in North America' is incorrect; the Atlanta Braves (as the Boston Red Stockings) were founded in 1871 and are older as a continuous professional franchise.
Well-Established History — The team was not called the 'Infants' or 'Remnants' by the press; those are not documented historical nicknames.
Founding Eras — The claim that the Cubs are 'the earliest formed active professional sports club in North America, predating the team now known as the Atlanta Braves by one year' is inaccurate; the Braves franchise is generally considered older or at least not predated by one
Founding Eras — The franchise origin date listed as 'Chicago White Stockings (1876)' is misleading; the team began play in 1870 or 1871, not 1876.
Home Stadium Reference — The tagline states 'The Cubs' 155th season at Wrigley Field,' but the intro correctly notes that 2026 is the Cubs' 111th season at Wrigley Field.
