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.

Phillies Phanatic — The statement that Bill Giles called the Phanatic's creation his 'worst decision' due to a costly copyright mistake is inaccurate; Giles said losing the copyright was a mistake, but did not call the creation itself his 'worst decision'.
Phillies Phanatic — The Phanatic's head was stolen in 2004 and recovered after a ransom note and a drop-off; this is an urban legend with no credible evidence.
Steve Carlton — The entry states Carlton pitched 155 innings during his 15-game winning streak in 1972, but the correct total is 135 innings.
Richie Ashburn — Ashburn was a five-time All-Star, not a four-time All-Star
Richie Ashburn — Ashburn played for the Phillies from 1948 through 1959, not 1948–1957
Dick Allen — The entry states Allen led the league in runs in 1964, but he did not; the league leader had 130 runs.
Dick Allen — The entry claims the nickname 'Crash Helmet' derived from wearing a helmet in the field, but the nickname 'Crash' predated that and was not from the helmet.
Bob Carpenter Jr. — Bob Carpenter served as owner until 1981, not 1972
Bob Carpenter Jr. — The Blue Jays nickname was officially dropped in January 1950, not at the end of the 1949 season
Dallas Green — Green appeared in 100 games for the Phillies as a pitcher, with only 13 starts — should be 14 starts
1915 National League Pennant — The Red Sox manager in 1915 was Bill Carrigan, not Ed Barrow.
Jimmy Rollins MVP Award — Jimmy Rollins was not officially named team captain of the Phillies; the Phillies did not have an official team captain during that era.
