Nationals calendar had picture of Fenway Park on front
An official 2016 Washington Nationals calendar was sent out to retailers recently, but there was just one problem – the wrong ballpark was on the cover.
The team calendar displayed a panoramic photo of Boston’s Fenway Park on the cover, even billing it as Nationals Park in Washington, DC.
Hey @Nationals you might want to have a word w/Turner Licensing. This is the 2016 calendar cover pic.twitter.com/4kLHVR8wsr

This isn’t the team’s fault, as Turner Licensing manufactures the calendars. The Nationals did play their season opener in Boston last year, but Fenway Park and Nationals Park look nothing alike, so it’s hard to understand the error.
The calendars are being recalled and corrected. Hopefully the manufacturer is more careful this time and gets the picture right.
