Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Busch Stadium III — The venue opened on April 4, 2006, but the first regular-season game was on April 10, 2006; the opening date is actually April 10, 2006 (the first game), not April 4 (which was an exhibition game).

Busch Stadium III — A record crowd of 48,699 attended a game against the Washington Nationals on July 31, 2022; the actual record attendance for Busch Stadium III is 48,699, but that game was against the Chicago Cubs on July 31, 2022, not the Washington Nationals.

Busch Memorial Stadium — The stadium opened on May 12, 1966, but the final game at Sportsman's Park was actually played on September 11, 1965, not 1966.

Busch Memorial Stadium — The stadium's roof had 96 arches, but it was not designed by Edward Durell Stone; the architect was Sverdrup & Parcel, with Edward Durell Stone as a consulting architect.

Albert Pujols — The entry says Pujols made ten consecutive All-Star selections from 2001 to 2010, but he was also selected in 2011, making it 11 consecutive selections with the Cardinals.

Albert Pujols — The entry claims Pujols hit his 100th career home run in his third season, tying a record held by Ralph Kiner, but Pujols reached 100 home runs in 391 games, while Kiner did it in 385 games, so the record was not tied.

Red Schoendienst — Red Schoendienst won only two World Series titles as a player (1946 with Cardinals, 1957 with Braves), not three (1942, 1944, 1946).

Red Schoendienst — The entry overstates Schoendienst's broadcasting role by claiming he was a regular broadcaster for many years alongside Ozzie Smith; his broadcast appearances were sporadic and not a primary role.

The 1982 World Series Championship — The claim that the 1982 Cardinals were 'the first team since 1981 to rally from behind after losing the first two games of the Series' is factually incorrect because the 1981 Dodgers did not lose the first two games of their World Series.

The 1982 World Series Championship — The 'Notable Record' entry stating 'First team to win WS after losing first two games since 1981' is factually incorrect; the correct last team to do so before 1982 was the 1978 Yankees.

The 1967 'Impossible Dream' Season — The series-clinching hit in Game 7 was a two-run single by Julian Javier in the top of the 6th inning, not by Roger Maris in the top of the 9th.

The 1967 'Impossible Dream' Season — The final out was a ground ball to third baseman Mike Shannon by Boston's George Scott, not a ground ball to second baseman Julian Javier by Rico Petrocelli.

1944 World Series Championship — The 1944 World Series was the Cardinals' fourth championship, not their fifth.

1944 World Series Championship — The series is commonly referred to as the 'Streetcar Series,' not the 'Gateway Series.'

1982 World Series Championship — The entry states the 1982 World Series was the franchise's first championship since 1964, but the Cardinals also won the World Series in 1967.
