We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Citi Field — The capacity listed in the STATS section is 41,800, but the actual current capacity is 41,922.
Citi Field — The INTRO states Shea Stadium was demolished shortly before Citi Field's opening, but Shea Stadium was actually demolished after Citi Field opened.
8th Inning Stretch — The tradition of playing Frank Sinatra's 'New York, New York' after the top of the 8th inning did not begin at Shea Stadium during the 2000 season; it actually started at Shea Stadium in the 1980s (specifically around 1984 or 1985) and was revived or continued
8th Inning Stretch — The claim that the ritual is unique to Mets home games is inaccurate; other MLB teams (e.g., the New York Yankees) also play 'New York, New York' after games, though the timing and context differ.
David Wright — The entry states Wright made his MLB debut on July 21, 2004 at Shea Stadium, but the game was at Turner Field in Atlanta.
David Wright — The entry states Wright is the third player to play at least 10 MLB seasons entirely with the Mets, but he is actually the fourth such player.
Mike Piazza — Piazza was not the first catcher in MLB history to get 200 hits in a season; Iván Rodríguez and others did it earlier.
Mike Piazza — Piazza did not set the record for most home runs in a season without a multi-homer game; Todd Hundley had 41 in 1996, breaking Rogers Hornsby's mark first.
Mets Mafia — Dave Kingman is incorrectly included as an early member of the 'Mets Mafia'; he played for the Mets in 1975–1977 and 1981–1983, not as part of the 1986 team or late-1980s core.
Mets Mafia — Keith Hernandez never refused to play for the Dodgers; he was traded from the Cardinals to the Mets in 1983, not from the Dodgers.
Gary Cohen — Cohen was inducted into the New York Mets Hall of Fame on June 3, 2022, not 2023.
Gary Cohen — Cohen received an honorary doctorate from Seton Hall and delivered the commencement speech on May 22, 2023, not May 2024.
Subway Series — The 1944 Tri-Cornered Baseball Game was not a round-robin; it was a single game where each team played three innings against one another.
Subway Series — The Mayor's Trophy Game was not discontinued after 1983; it was played in 1984 and revived in the 1990s.
The Miracle at Shea — The 2006 NLCS Game 5 was not the final major playoff highlight at Shea Stadium; the Mets also played Game 6 of the 2006 NLCS at Shea on October 19, 2006, which was the final playoff game at Shea.
