Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Asheville Tourists — The team plays at HomeTrust Park, which opened in 1924. The stadium is named McCormick Field, not HomeTrust Park.

Asheville Tourists — The stadium was renovated in 1959, 1992, and is undergoing further renovations through the 2026 season. There is no widely known renovation through the 2026 season as of established canon.

Augusta GreenJackets — The entry claims the GreenJackets won the South Atlantic League championship in their debut season as a Red Sox farm team, but they actually won the championship in 1993 as the Augusta Pirates, not in 1994 as a Red Sox affiliate.

Carolina Mudcats — The entry states the team relocated to Wilson, North Carolina, as the Wilson Warbirds after the 2025 season, but no such relocation or rebranding has occurred in real canon.

Carolina Mudcats — The entry claims the team played in Zebulon from 1991 through 2025 and that Five County Stadium was used for all 35 seasons except part of the debut year; the 2025 date is speculative and not established history.

Charleston RiverDogs — The RiverDogs began an eight-year affiliation with the Tampa Bay Rays in 1997 is incorrect; the affiliation with the Rays began in 2005, not 1997.

Charleston RiverDogs — The claim that the RiverDogs are the only team in league history to win three consecutive Carolina League championships (2021, 2022, 2023) is incorrect; the Winston-Salem Dash also won three consecutive titles (2016, 2017, 2018).

Columbia Fireflies — The entry states the Columbia Fireflies are a Single-A affiliate of the Kansas City Royals, but they have been a High-A affiliate since the minor league restructuring in 2021, not Single-A.

Columbia Fireflies — The entry lists the franchise operated as the Savannah Sand Gnats from 1995 to 2015, but the Sand Gnats were a different franchise (the Savannah Sand Gnats existed from 1996 to 2015, not 1995; the Fireflies' franchise history traces back to the Savannah Cardin

Delmarva Shorebirds — The entry says the Shorebirds spent 2021 in the Low-A East before that league was renamed the Carolina League and reclassified as Single-A in 2022, but the reclassification from Low-A to Single-A actually occurred in 2021, not 2022.

Down East Wood Ducks — The team was founded in 2017, but the franchise itself (the Kinston club) existed before that; the Wood Ducks branding began in 2017, but the franchise was not 'founded' in 2017—it was a relocation/rebranding of the existing Kinston team (previously the Kinsto

Durham Bulls — The entry states the Bulls played in the Piedmont League from 1920 to 1933 and again from 1936 to 1943, but the team actually joined the Piedmont League in 1919 and played continuously from 1919 through 1933, then resumed in 1936 through 1943.

Durham Bulls — The entry says the team moved to El Toro Park in 1926, which was dedicated by Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis, and the park was renamed Durham Athletic Park after the 1933 season. In fact, the park was originally called El Toro Park, but it was renamed Du
