Well, the calendar maker’s idiocy stretched two days in a row of errors. Here’s the March 15, 2018, entry that says the Cincinnati Red Stockings, the first professional baseball team, played their first game on this day in 1869. Wrong. The first game was actually a month later in a warm-up to the recognized first game as described on Major League Baseball’s website: “… played baseball’s first pro game on May 4, 1869, against the amateur Great Westerns of Cincinnati — a game the Red Stockings won, 45-9.” Team members’ pro contracts began on March 15 of that year. Not the first game. Such an error isn’t obvious, but then again the calendar maker obviously didn’t hire an editor.
