* Not quite 'Dewey defeats Truman,' but…

November 3, 2009

I was misled. I thought the Philadelphia Inquirer had run an item prematurely congratulating the Phillies for winning the World Series for the second consecutive year. Turns out they just accidentally ran an advertisement from Macy’s, apparently in a rush to sell merchandise.

I can’t recall exactly where I saw it, but some news magazine program had a segment on what happens to the stuff teams make up in advance on the possibility that the team will, in fact, win the title. Evidently it’s all packed up immediately and shipped to some third world country where it’s donated to the locals.
