Twins' Manship the victim of embarrassing 'E'

The Minnesota Twins used a new pitcher Wednesday against the Kansas City Royals — or at least a familiar pitcher with a new last name.

Twins reliever Jeff Manship came in to pitch the sixth inning of Wednesday's series finale against the Royals, which Minnesota won 4-2. There was one slight problem, however: His name was misspelled on the back of his jersey.

The white lettering on Manship's navy jersey instead read “Mansihp.” Clearly, the right-hander didn't notice the mistake before putting on his jersey before Wednesday's game. After he got back to the Twins dugout after a scoreless sixth inning, he caught some grief from his teammates about his misspelled last name.

Why's that clear? What could he have done about if even if he did notice?

Or did the Twins spend so much on Mauer that the rest of the team has to sew their own names on their jerseys?

At least it's not the worse typo you could have with that name.
