The only thing better than the “Saturday Night Live” 40th Anniversary Special might have been the SNL40 afterparty.
The biggest names in comedy, music and sports came together at the star-studded affair, and according to Jay Z, that outrageous list of celebrities included one former baseball player who most definitely was not in attendance. The rapper got his retired pitchers a little mixed up, as he confused former New York Yankees pitcher David Wells for former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling.
Ex-Yankees pitcher David Cone was the lucky guy who witnessed Jay Z’s mix-up in action that included multiple questions about Schilling’s infamous “bloody sock” from Game 6 the 2004 American League Championship Series between the Red Sox and Yankees.

The two really don’t look that much alike, but Wells isn’t holding any grudges. He couldn’t believe it actually happened, but he tweeted that Jay Z is “still one cool dude.”

Schilling, on the other hand, wasn’t pleased with being mistaken for the hefty, bald Wells.
