ESPN Makes The Dumbest Mistake Ever With Hank Aaron Graphic (PIC)

Being the Worldwide leader in Sports comes with great responsibility, especially when confirming if something is true is very important.

On Sunday, a matchup between the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets prompted ESPN to bring out the Home Run king for some fond memories.

ESPN then ran a graphic showing Hank Aaron and Jackie Robinson standing next to each other. Only problem with that is Hank Aaron wasn’t in the photo, even though they put his name at the bottom of it.

Don’t worry, many people called them out for it:

Is ESPN serious? They just showed a photo of Jackie Robinson and Sam Jethroe at Braves Field, Boston. They tried passing off Sam Jethroe for Hank Aaron. Really? @AROD
