Forbes Field — The stadium opened on June 30, 1909, but the first game was actually played on July 1, 1909 (a 3-2 win over the Chicago Cubs).
Forbes Field — The claim that Forbes Field was the first steel-and-concrete stadium in the National League and second in MLB is incorrect; it was the first in the National League and the second in MLB overall after Shibe Park.
Roberto Clemente Statue — The entry states Clemente was the first Latino player inducted into the Hall of Fame, then contradicts itself by saying several Latino players such as Luis Aparicio and Juan Marichal had been inducted after him. In fact, Luis Aparicio (inducted 1984) and Juan
Seventh Inning Stretch — The entry claims there is no written record of the term 'seventh-inning stretch' before 1920, but it appears in print as early as 1869.
Seventh Inning Stretch — The entry states the first documented playing of 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game' at a major league ballpark was in 1934 or later, but documented instances exist earlier (e.g., 1908 or 1910).
Paul Waner — The entry states Waner set the team record for doubles in a season three times, but he only set it twice (1928 and 1932).
Paul Waner — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section claims Waner set the major league record for consecutive games with an extra-base hit (14), but this was a National League record, not a major league record.
Roberto Clemente — Clemente was not an Olympic hopeful; Puerto Rico did not participate in the Olympics in track and field in a way that made him a realistic candidate, and there is no established canon that he was considered for the Olympics.
Roberto Clemente — Clemente was not the first player from the Caribbean and Latin America to win a World Series as a starting position player in 1960; several Latino players preceded him.
Pie Traynor — The entry says Traynor reached double digits in triples ten times (1922-1931, excluding 1924), but he actually had 10+ triples in 1924, so excluding 1924 is incorrect.
Pie Traynor — The entry says Traynor stole home plate in an All-Star Game, but he stole home in a regular-season game, not an All-Star Game.
Dave Parker — The entry states Parker was 'one of two Pirates to make the United Press International all-star selection at the end of the 1979 season, alongside Willie Stargell.' This is incorrect; the UPI all-star team for 1979 included multiple Pirates, not just two.
1925 World Series Title — The 1925 World Series was the Pirates' second championship title, not their fourth.
1925 World Series Title — No official World Series MVP was awarded for the 1925 World Series, as the award was not introduced until 1955.
