I watched a spring training baseball game last night -- a Mets/Braves that I recorded a few days ago.
Late in the game, the Mets brought in a new pitcher. When I saw the name on the back of his shirt -- Laffey -- I was shocked. I thought, "We've got Laffey now?! He's terrific." As a Mets fan, I was excited and I wondered why I hadn't heard about the trade.
And then I realized I had confused Laffey with a pitcher named Smiley. Made me laugh.
