Blunders, screw ups

TBS misspells Willie Mays’ name on graphic (Picture)

October 13, 2012 by Larry Brown • Comments

TBS might need a new graphics person.

The network showed a graphic during the fifth inning of ALCS Game 1 between the Yankees and Tigers on Saturday, and they had the last name of Hall of Famer Willie Mays misspelled.

The graphic showed the players who appeared in MLB’s postseason before age 24 and after age 40 in honor of Yankees starter Andy Pettitte, who was pitching in the game. Unfortunately they made a pretty poor error by spelling Mays’ last name “Mayes.”

Between this and the “Carl” Ripken Jr. mistake, TBS really needs to double-check all of its graphics before airing them.
