RandmSpn - Washingtn Natinals


.......no comment

Two players from the Washington Nationals on the 17th wore jerseys that sported the incorrect spelling of the teams name. Adam Dunn and Ryan Zimmerman took the field last Friday sporting the name Natinals. The issue was resolved by the third inning, but not before it got the commentators, sports writers, and SportsCenter's attention.

Jersey maker Majestic took full responsibility on the 23rd. "All of us at Majestic Athletic want to apologize to both the Washington Nationals and Major League Baseball for accidentally omitting the 'o' in two Nationals jerseys," Majestic Athletic president Jim Pisani said in a statement. He continued; "We take 100 percent responsibility for this event and we regret any embarrassment for the Nationals organization, players and fans."

It's not like the Nationals are having a stellar season as it is. At 3-11, they are 5th in the NL East. Kind of fits with the theme this season so far, I'd say.

My last thought on this: Does it make it even MORE embarrassing that they play at our nations capital?
