When Kurt Landes ordered T-shirts for the team recently on his mobile phone, he inadvertently typed a "u" instead of an "i," turning the Lehigh Valley IronPigs into the IronPugs, according to WFMZ-TV.
Apparently they'll play as the IronPugs when they face off against the Syracuse Mets on Aug. 19.
"In what was a simple typo by me, we are now forced to become the IronPugs for this day," Landes told WFMZ.
“It had to have been the autocorrect on my mobile phone. We've all been there, right? Now, like any pig, I have mud on my face,” he joked.
Lehigh Valley #IronPugs?
