D’Oh! Ad salutes Phillies’ 2nd straight World Series title
Published: November 2, 2009
PHILADELPHIA -- A Philadelphia newspaper has apologized to readers for mistakenly running an ad congratulating the Philadelphia Phillies on winning back-to-back World Series titles.
The Yankees held a commanding 3-1 lead in the championship as of today, the day the ad was printed in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The three-quarter-page Macy's ad is on the back of the front section and features a T-shirt with the Phillies logo, the commissioner's trophy and the phrase "Back To Back World Series Champions."
The Inquirer released a message to readers saying the paper deeply regrets the error.

LOL… Classic. They will probably have to change that to Phillies fans fighting each other because they lost!
Now that is wishful thinking!
Sure they do.
