Maybe they left his shirt in “San Fran-cic-so.”
A Giant misspelling resulted in outfielder Eugenio Velez wearing a weird jersey Wednesday. A pair of letters were transposed in “Francisco.”
So when Velez made his season debut in the seventh inning during a double switch, his uniform read “San Francicso.” No one seemed to notice until well after the Giants’ 10-4 win over the Astros.
“No, no, I didn’t know,” he told The Associated Press by cell phone from the team bus on the way to the airport. “That’s the first I’ve heard.”
“Increible!” the Dominican backup said in Spanish.
Velez is in his fourth year with the Giants. He walked and scored the final run against the Astros.

You have to watch the slideshow if you are a sports fan. It’s awesome…
Remember when Elizabeth Lambert yanked another girl down by the ponytail during a BYU-New Mexico game and the whole world went up in arms because women were (OMG!) fighting in sports? Well now Brittney Griner has upped the ante after her chicanery during a basketball game. Griner now joins a list of idiots who decided to drop all sense of reason and take matters in to their own hands.
Bus Service between Union Station and Dodger Stadium is Back [Updated] – LAist
The transit program that swept baseball fans between Union Station and Dodger Stadium in 2008 and then canceled in 2009 is back, thanks to a $300,000 grant enabling a no-cost express bus service for the 2010 Dodgers season. The news comes from County Supervisor Michael Antonovich, who sits on the Governing Board of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) where the air reduction pollution grant was secured.
“Dodger fans across the County can now avoid the traffic, save gas and help improve air quality by using public transit and our new Dodger Express Bus to get to the game,“ Antonovich said in a statement.
Buses will run between the station and stadium every 10 minutes prior to the start of a game run every 30 minutes or so during the game. Further details are pending.
Update: Here are the details on the operation and schedule, per Antonovich’s staff:
- Seven CNG buses would be used for 83 home games– two preseason and 81 regular season games.
- Pre-Game – service will be provided on a 10 minute frequency from 90 minutes prior to game up to the 3rd inning.
- Mid-Game – service will be provided on a 30 minute frequency between the 3rd inning and 7th inning
- Post-Game – service will be provided “load and go” from 7th inning to 45 minutes after game ends
