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.

Forbes Field — The first game was played on June 30, 1909, against the Chicago Cubs, with the Pirates winning 3–2, not the Cubs winning 3–2.
Roberto Clemente Statue — The entry states Clemente was 'the first Latino and Caribbean player and second of Hispanic descent (after Lefty Gomez in 1972) to be honored in the National Baseball Hall of Fame.' This is factually misleading because Lefty Gomez was not typically classified
Roberto Clemente Statue — The entry says Clemente 'was a track and field star and Olympic hopeful before focusing on baseball.' This is an invented claim not supported by documented biography.
Seventh Inning Stretch — The entry states 'alcohol sales often cease after the last out of the seventh inning,' but in MLB ballparks including PNC Park, alcohol sales typically cease at the end of the seventh inning, not after the last out.
Seventh Inning Stretch — The entry's claim about Japan's seventh-inning stretch is incorrect: the away team's fight song is played after the top of the sixth inning, not after the end of the 6th inning, and the home team's fight song is played after the top of the seventh inning.
Three Rivers Stadium — The final game at Three Rivers Stadium was a Steelers game on December 16, 2000, but the Steelers lost to the Washington Redskins, not won.
Three Rivers Stadium — The STATS section says 'Demolished (2002)' but the actual demolition was in 2001.
PNC Park — The claim that PNC Park was the first two-deck ballpark built in the United States since Milwaukee County Stadium opened in 1953 is false; several two-deck ballparks were built in between, including Dodger Stadium (1962) and Shea Stadium (1964).
PNC Park — The statement that the first hit in the park was a two-run home run by Sean Casey is inaccurate; the first hit was a single by Sean Casey, and the first home run was a two-run home run by Sean Casey.
Willie Stargell — Stargell's career spanned 1962–1982, not 1962–1979; he played 21 seasons, not 16.
Willie Stargell — Stargell was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1988, but he retired after the 1982 season, so it was six years after retirement, not two.
Dick Groat — Dick Groat was right-handed, not left-handed. He batted right-handed and threw right-handed.
Dick Groat — Dick Groat did not play his entire career with the Pirates; he also played for the St. Louis Cardinals (1963–1965), Philadelphia Phillies (1966–1967), and San Francisco Giants (1967).
Vern Law — The STATS section incorrectly lists Law's role as 'Left-handed relief pitcher / closer' and his era as 'Early-to-mid 1970s'. Law was a right-handed starting pitcher who played from 1950–1967.
Vern Law — The STATS section incorrectly lists Championships as '1971 & 1972 World Series'. Law won the World Series with the Pirates in 1960.
