At Least They Got Fukudome's Jersey Right
No, folks, this typo is not an April Fools' Day joke. The sculptor of the new Ernie Banks statue at Wrigley Field, unveiled Monday, really had no idea. We can't tell if Flickr user kellyhafermann was just catching a reflection or if she noticed the error, but we thank her for this timely shot, uploaded today.
In case you, like sculptor Lou Cella, haven't the faintest idea, the typo is a missing apostrophe. Be sure to check out other shots of the statue by Kelly.

That is pretty bad!
The full quote is "It's a great day for a ball game; let's play two!." The type isn't an error.

That's bad to miss, do the people who made the sculpture speak English as a second language?
