Nancy Pelosi botches attempt to honor Willie Mays by posting photo of wrong black baseball legend
Pelosi's social media team was caught napping while attempting to wish a
happy 90th birthday to all-time great Willie Mays. Instead of posting a photo of
Mays, an image of Willie McCovey was shared. McCovey, a baseball superstar
in his own right, sadly passed away in 2018 at the age of 80.
Pelosi, who has represented the city of San Francisco for decades, whiffed on
the bush league birthday tidings because there was a photo of McCovey
instead of the Say Hey Kid. Pelosi's social media team didn't catch the error,
but keen-eyed baseball fans noticed the faux pas and cried foul. With Pelosi's
social media team caught in a pickle, they quickly tried to clean up the
mistake by posting another photo, this time of Willie Mays along with Pelosi
Thus far, Pelosi has not received nearly as much widespread, and at times
harsh condemnation that Republican Sens. Marco Rubio and Dan Sullivan
received last year when they attempted to honor Rep. John Robert Lewis but
accidentally shared a photo of Rep. Elijah Cummings instead.
