In 2002 the Omaha Royals will play the Oklahoma RedHawks at the Berkshire shareholder baseball game.

True: a game between the Omaha Royals and the Oklahoma RedHawks was played as part of the 2002 Berkshire annual meeting weekend (at Rosenblatt Stadium or another Omaha venue) on or before 4 May 2002. Mostly true: that game was played on time as a Berkshire shareholder event, with only a minor detail different (such as the start time or venue). Mostly false: the Royals played the RedHawks only after 4 May 2002, or the game was played but not as the Berkshire shareholder event. False: the shareholder game was cancelled or rained out and not played by 4 May 2002, or the Royals played a different opponent at the shareholder game.

   “After my fastball was clocked at 5 mph last year, I decided to hang up my spikes.”

E1, an independent report dated 6 May 2002, says shareholders watched Buffett throw out the first pitch at an Omaha Royals home game on the Saturday after the meeting. That confirms a Royals game was held as part of the meeting weekend. Neither E1, E2 nor E3 names the opposing team, and the criteria depend on the opponent: the claim is true if it was the Oklahoma RedHawks and false if it was another team. Because the evidence does not show who the Royals played, the claim cannot be settled.
