Why this stamp.
- “White Sox amateur scouting director Mike Shirley resigns on heels of verbal harassment allegations” names a checkable occurrence — actor and action that can be verified on the record. The desk is grading that documented event, not every surrounding take.

- The desk stamp Real is on the documented event — not a blessing of the surrounding spin. Spin can be wrong; the occurrence still has to clear the Real bar on its own.
