Chicago Paper Makes Major–and Hilarious–Mistake

More newspaper articles make small, careless typos these days, but it isn’t often you see a gaffe as large as this.

The Chicago Sun-Times recently reported that right-handed pitcher Matt Garza, formerly of the Tampa Bay Rays, will now play for the Chicago Cubs. Nothing wrong with that—except that the picture accompanying the article was of a totally DIFFERENT Tampa Bay Rays player, Joaquin Benoit.

Obviously, the folks in charge of the Sun-Times layout are not sports fans, and I can’t blame them. Hell, I wouldn’t recognize Garza OR Benoit by sight, either.

Still–is nobody double-checking these things?
