Botched Royals Graphic Is Full Of Errors
The Kansas City Royals are hanging tough in the AL Central to start the 2013 season, but whoever does the graphics for their broadcast obviously isn’t putting in too much of an effort like the ball club. A Royals’ graphic from their Thursday night broadcast has hit the web after it completely botches MLB players’ names and who they play for.
In the graphic, the Royals’ are asking viewers to text-in answers about which players on the list they would like to start a franchise with. There happens to be one pretty big problem, and that’s the multiple errors that go along with the broadcast’s poll.
Did you know Bryce Harper is actually named “Bryce Hunter” and currently plays for the Detroit Tigers instead of the Washington Nationals? Well, the Royals’ graphic can fill you in if you didn’t know.
Have you heard of that up and coming starting pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles named “Matt Jones” who is tearing up the league? Probably not, because his real name is Matt Harvey and he takes the mound for the New York Mets.
Can you believe the Orioles shipped rising star Manny Machado off to the Chicago White Sox? Neither can the White Sox, as he still plays for the Orioles and is currently tearing the cover off the baseball.
And little did you know that Mike Trout has been a member of the New York Yankees all along; well at least the Royals’ graphic says so.
The poll was sure to grab a lot of responses, but not to the actual question at hand: Which young player would you like to start a franchise with?
Instead, the Royals probably received a lot of histerical comments on their completely botched graphic. A shot of the poll has since made it rounds on Twitter, and ESPN’s Darren Rovell re-posted the photo, calling the mishap the “most #fail graphic of all time.”

As you can see, the Royals weren’t even close, and it doesn’t take a baseball whiz to notice it. Have you ever seen a graphic this far off before?
