Progressive Field — The longest home run hit at the stadium being 511 feet by Jim Thome on July 3, 1999, is a widely repeated but unverified claim; official measurements and reliable sources do not confirm a 511-foot home run at Jacobs Field.
Progressive Field — The capacity peaked at 45,569 in 2008 is incorrect; the original capacity in 1994 was 42,865, and it was expanded to 43,345 in 1997, then later reduced.
Bob Feller — The lore says Feller's first start was August 23, 1936, when he struck out 15 batters, but his actual first start was on that date with 9 strikeouts; the 15-strikeout game was a relief appearance on August 20, 1936.
Bob Feller — [contradicted] His first start came on August 23, 1936, when he struck out 9 batters; however, his legendary 15-strikeout performance occurred three days earlier in a relief appearance on August 20, 1936. :: The source says Feller's first start was on August 2
The Cleveland Naps — The Naps era spanned from 1903 to 1914, but the team was actually named the Naps from 1903 to 1911; in 1912, the team was renamed the Cleveland Naps but officially became the Cleveland Indians in 1915, so the Naps era ended after the 1914 season is correct, bu
Bob Feller Rookie Debut — Feller's debut was on July 19, 1936, but it was a start, not a relief appearance. He started the game against the Washington Senators and pitched one inning before being removed due to rain.
1948 World Series Championship — Bob Feller did not pitch a complete game in Game 6; he was relieved in the 8th inning by Bob Lemon, who got the save.
1995 AL Central Division Title — The claim that the playoffs served as a harsh reality check against Seattle's pitching rotation is misleading; the Indians lost the 1995 ALDS to the Boston Red Sox, not Seattle, and faced Seattle in the ALCS, so the entry conflates the two series.
1998 AL Central Division Title — Jim Thome and Manny Ramirez hit 75 combined home runs in 1998, not over 80.
1948 World Series Championship — The 1948 World Series was played at League Park (with Game 5 at Cleveland Stadium), not exclusively at Cleveland Stadium as implied in the INTRO and STATS sections.
