White House Misspells Red Sox As ‘Red Socks’ In Announcement Of Visit
A mistake heralded the Boston Red Sox’s visit to the White House.
An official White House announcement of the Red Sox’s trip to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. initially contained a misspelled version of the team’s name. Instead of welcoming the “Red Sox,” the White House statement called the team the “Red Socks” on a page listing the events that would be streamed online on the executive branch’s official YouTube page.
“President Trump Welcomes the 2018 World Series Champions The Boston Red Socks to the White House,” the statement read.
The White House corrected the mistake as of 9 a.m. ET Thursday morning, according to The Boston Globe’s Steve Annear.
The Red Sox will visit the White House on Thursday afternoon and join President Trump in a ceremony commemorating their 2018 World Series win.
