Newspaper confuses Keith Hernandez for Aaron in headline

April 20, 2017 by Larry Brown • Comments

Don’t worry, folks. Keith Hernandez is alive and well contrary to what one newspaper would have you believe.

According to Deadspin, The Brandon Sun in Canada reported on the death of Aaron Hernandez on Wednesday and ran an Associated Press version of the story. They decided to create their own headline but screwed up and wrote “Keith Hernandez.”

Keith Hernandez of course is the former Mets MVP first baseman, not the former Patriots tight end who was in prison for murder.

Hey, we make plenty of mistakes and don’t claim to be perfect over here, but we couldn’t help but share this blunder since it was so bad.
