Bizarre Mistake

Michael Morse, a current San Francisco Giant, located
next to Jason Werth #28, in a picture from 2 years  ago that
 ran on the front page of the Washington Post Saturday morning.
The Washington Post, a very highly regarded newspaper, made a mistake with their front page paper in Saturday's edition that you do not see everyday.

The Washington Nationals are currently battling the San Francisco Giants in the National League Division Series of the baseball postseason, and Michael Morse, a first baseman/outfielder on the Giants, played for the Nationals last year, but you wouldn't know that from the picture that the editor of the Washington Post let slide.

Morse saw the picture and sent out a tweet at 1:07 p.m. earlier today with the caption, "Wait.... whaaaaa?!?!?

It is pretty bizarre that a picture like this makes it all the way through the editing process and onto the news stands for people to then catch the mistake, Also, it is pretty hard to believe that there was not a more current
picture available for use. If everything else was not a dead
giveaway, along the top of the dugout, it reads, "Postseason 2012."

For the record, Michael Morse is on the San Francisco Giants and does not play for the Washington National any longer. Hopefully the Washington Post learns from their slip up  here.

  2. very bad look for the post, they are not only one of the most regarded papers but heir sports section especially. You would think this is the result of someone trying to a cut a corner and finish a story and everyone els to lazy to catch it.
