Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Nationals Park — The first game ever played at Nationals Park was a college game between George Washington and Saint Joseph's on March 22, 2008, with Saint Joseph's winning 9-4, not the other way around.

Nationals Park — The official capacity of Nationals Park is 41,339, not 41,373.

Fenway Park — The park's capacity is approximately 37,755, not 'approximately 37,000'.

Nationals Park — The entry states the stadium capacity is 41,373, but the widely-known official capacity at opening was 41,888.

Nationals Park — The entry claims the Washington Monument and Capitol are visible from the upper decks on the third base side, but they are visible from the first base side.

Stephen Strasburg — The entry states 'the first player ever drafted by the franchise was Ryan Zimmerman in 2005', which is incorrect because the franchise (as the Montreal Expos) drafted players prior to 2005.

Ryan Zimmerman — Ryan Zimmerman was 21 years old at the time of his MLB debut in 2006, not 19. He was born September 28, 1984, and debuted on September 1, 2006.

Ryan Zimmerman — The 2012 NL Division Series was played in a 2-3 format (the Nationals had home field advantage), so Game 4 was in Washington, not a walk-off home run in Game 4; Zimmerman's walk-off home run actually occurred in Game 2 of that series, not Game 4.

2019 World Series — The entry omits 2018 from the list of postseason appearances; the Nationals also reached the postseason in 2018.

2019 World Series — The claim that Juan Soto became the youngest player in World Series history to hit a home run in his first at-bat is incorrect; Andruw Jones was younger (age 19 in 1996).

2019 NL Division Series Title — The Nationals did not sweep the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2019 NL Division Series; they faced the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLDS, winning 3-2.

2019 NL Division Series Title — The claim that the sweep was 'three games, zero mercy' and 'three wins, no drama in the final inning' is false because the NLDS against the Dodgers went to five games.

2019 National League Pennant — The 2015 NLDS loss was to the New York Mets, not the Chicago Cubs.

2019 National League Pennant — The 2019 NLCS was not a 'high-scoring, offensive showcase' overall; the Nationals scored 20 runs total across 4 games, with 8 of those in Game 3 and 7 in Game 4, but Game 1 was a 2-0 pitchers' duel and Game 2 was a 3-1 game.
