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.

The D Logo — The St. Louis Cardinals did not wear old gold and navy blue before the Tigers; their traditional colors are red and white.
The D Logo — The script 'D' logo was used on jerseys in 1968 and 1984, not the block 'D' as the flag claims; the flag also misrepresents logo usage in 1935 and 1945.
Go Tigers Chant — The entry states the Tigers 'became one of the league's eight charter franchises when it declared itself a major league in 1901.' The American League had eight charter franchises in 1901, but the Tigers were one of them; however, the phrasing could be read as
Go Tigers Chant — The entry says the Tigers 'are among the oldest American League teams to have never changed its name while remaining in its original location.' This is factually correct, but the phrasing is ambiguous. No error.
Sam Crawford — The entry states Crawford led the league in RBIs twice (1907, 1908), but he only led in 1907; in 1908 Ty Cobb led with 108 RBIs while Crawford had 80.
Sam Crawford — The entry says he led the league in triples five times, but he actually led the AL in triples six times (1902, 1903, 1904, 1910, 1913, 1914).
Hank Greenberg — The entry claims Greenberg's number 9 was retired by the Tigers in 1984, but his number 5 was retired in 1984, not number 9.
Hank Greenberg — The entry says Greenberg was 'drafted out of high school,' but he was signed as an amateur free agent in 1929, before the MLB draft existed.

Sparky Anderson — Sparky Anderson is one of three managers to win World Series titles with two different franchises, not only two.
Willie Horton — The entry states Horton was a four-time All-Star in 1965, 1968, 1970, and 1973, but the correct year is 1974, not 1973.
Willie Horton — The entry says Horton finished fourth in MVP voting in 1968, but he actually finished third.
Al Kaline — Kaline debuted on June 25, 1953, but he did not bypass the minor leagues entirely due to the bonus rule; he played 30 games in the minor leagues in 1953 before being called up.
Al Kaline — Kaline was selected to 18 All-Star Games, but the correct count is 15 All-Star selections (1955–1967, 1971, 1974).
