Hey not everyone can say they helped end a 108-year old title drought, but Chicago Cubs infielder Javy Baez can and to celebrate that unforgettable moment Baez got a tattoo to commemorate it on his left arm as you can see in the photo above Tweeted out earlier today by @BaseballInFocus.
Problem is that’s not the Cubs 2016 World Series Champions logo on there, it’s actually just the Kansas City Royals 2015 World Champs logo:
Whoops. No big deal, not like it’s permanent or anything.
If only Javy spoke with us first we could have avoided this whole mixup.
(Yes, it’s entirely possible, probable even, that Baez intentionally chose this logo as he may have simply preferred the 2015 template, it’s got the WS Trophy afterall, but that doesn’t change the fact it’s the wrong logo for that particular season)
For the record the Cubs have been promoting two different World Championship logos, we’re still not entirely sure which of these will be worn on their jersey this season.
Option A:
Option B:
“The Tattoo Curse” has a nice ring to it.
