No, Fox Doesn’t Think Pujols Is Still A Cardinal (But Somebody Does)
Always-rational Twitter erupted early in Tuesday’s MLB All-Star Game because of a screencap: a graphic that has a St. Louis Cardinals logo by Albert Pujols’ name.
So apparently Albert Pujols is on the #STLCards again?

The image spread like wildfire with folks spitting anger at Fox Sports. Problem is, that isn’t the Fox broadcast, as The Cauldron’s C.J. Folger proved the American telecast got it right.

But that doesn’t mean someone didn’t screw up: the mistake came from MLB’s own international feed, which is a little more embarrassing considering the source.
And that ends today’s lesson in “Don’t believe anything on social media.”
