Go Mariner Go — The song was not originally created as a promotional jingle by local radio station KVI; it was created by J.P. Patches and his sidekick and first performed on KING-TV.
Howard Frankel — The 2023 MLB at Field of Dreams game was canceled primarily due to construction of a youth baseball complex at the site, not solely due to scheduling conflicts and field conditions.
1977 Expansion Entry — The group that founded the Mariners was led by Danny Kaye and Lester Smith, not 'Lester Smith, with Danny Kaye as a minority owner' — Danny Kaye was the primary owner and chairman, not a minority owner.
1977 Expansion Entry — Darrell Johnson was the inaugural manager, but he was not replaced mid-season in 1977; he managed the entire 1977 season and was fired after the 1978 season. The claim 'replaced mid-season' is incorrect.
The Golden Boy Era — The 2001 season (116 wins) is not part of 'The Golden Boy Era' as defined by Griffey's tenure, because Griffey was traded in February 2000.
The Golden Boy Era — Griffey did not play his entire first tenure (1989–1999) at the Kingdome; he played home games at Safeco Field from July 15, 1999, through the end of the 1999 season.
Ken Griffey Jr. Debut — The Mariners retired his jersey number 24 in 2016, not 2009.
Lou Piniella Tenure — The entry states Piniella had a winning record in five of his ten seasons (1995, 1997, 2000, 2001, 2002), but he actually had six winning seasons: 1995, 1996, 1997, 2000, 2001, and 2002.
Lou Piniella Tenure — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section claims Piniella is one of only two managers to lead the Mariners to a division title before 2001, but no other Mariners manager won a division title before Piniella; he is the only one.
2001 AL West Division Title — The Mariners' division titles before 2001 were 1995, 1997, and 2001; 2000 was a Wild Card berth, not a division title.
1995 AL West Division Title — Randy Johnson was acquired via trade from the Montreal Expos on May 25, 1995, not 1998.
