Rockies give out 15,000 misspelled jerseys
This is hilarious.
http://blogs.denverpost.com/rockies/...veaways/18312/ Troy Tulowitzki’s name misspelled on 15,000 Rockies jersey giveaways By*Nick Groke The Denver Post The Rockies Saturday gave away 15,000 Troy Tulowitzki jerseys to fans at Coors Field before their game against the Pirates. Just one issue: The jerseys spelled Tulo’s name wrong. The second T was missing — and ‘Tulowizki’ it was instead. Some fans proclaimed the jersey an instant collector’s item, something like Billy Ripken’s notorious baseball card from 1989 or something like the*left-handed hitting Hank Aaron card from 1957. Other wiseacres on Twitter suggested the jersey manufacturer should have left out the W (because the Rockies have fewer wins this season than losses, if that’s not clear). The Rockies released a statement about the shirt misspelling: The Colorado Rockies offer our sincere apologies to the fans for the misspelling of the Troy Tulowitzki King Soopers jersey that was distributed tonight. The Rockies would also like to apologize to longtime corporate partner King Soopers, who was not involved in the production of the jerseys. Acknowledging that many fans came to the game for the jersey, rather than disappoint them, we decided to go ahead and hand them out. We have made plans to reproduce the jersey and fans wishing to exchange will be able to do so at a future date (TBD) in September at Coors Field or the Rockies Dugout Stores. In addition, fans exchanging the jersey will receive a complimentary ticket to a future game in 2014 or 2015. |

It's really unfortunate they were never able to build on the 2007 WS year. Coors is a really great place to watch games and even better when fully packed in games that matter.

I remember in the mid 90's when the Rockies 3-4-5-6 consisted of Andres Galarraga, Larry Walker, Dante Bichette, and Vinny Castilla. That's like a damn cheat code on a video game. And they still sucked!

What a shock. The same state that legalized weed had this mishap. Coincidence? I think not.

They played the first 20 seconds of Neil Diamond's "Coming to America" 10 times hoping to get the fireworks to start. I was quickly making a mental note of where it ranks on the dumbest ass shit I ever saw at the K.
