Colorado Rockies shirts honoring Tulowitzki – Spell his name wrong

(Reuters) – Ebay may soon heat up with searches for baseball jerseys honoring Colorado Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, after his own team managed to spell the top hitter’s name wrong.

The team gave out 15,000 of the shirts to fans attending a home game at Coors Field in Denver on Saturday, spelling as “Tulowizki” the name of the player tied for first for the highest batting average in Major League Baseball.

Some of the jerseys with the misspelled name were already bid up to more than $40 just a few hours after being offered on the eBay auction site.

One listing described the item as “wrapped in plastic to preserve this wonderful mistake,” with the added exhortation: “Own this piece of epic fail history!”

Other sellers were offering the shirt for as much as $300. By comparison, Tulowitzki shirts – with the correct spelling – can be purchased on the site for as little as $11.99.
