In case you missed it, a group of our politicians on Capitol Hill led by Senator Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) presented the Atlanta Braves manager a cake that had these words inscribed:

“Thanks for 50 Great Years Bobby Cocks”

Cox handled the gaffe well and accepted the reception as a nice gesture and thanked the group for recognizing him for his long tenure in the sport, a majority of which he spent in the Braves’ organization.

Senator Isakson’s spokesperson, Sheridan Watson, said that she ordered the cake from the vendor that handles cafeteria services in the Capitol and that Cox’s name was spelled correctly in the e-mail that was sent to the company.

However when the cake arrived, the goof was immediately noticed and the organizers smeared the top of it to hide the screw-up, but not before a few of our fellow quick-drawing media photogs snagged a shot like the one here.

So, ‘My Dear Watson’ how do you suppose this may have occurred?

“”Whether the mistake was accidental or intentional, I don’t know,” said Watson. “The only people who saw it were me, the scheduler and unfortunately some media members who had arrived early and took pictures.”

After this screw-up you have to wonder what these rocket scientists would have delivered to a reception for former players Rusty Kuntz or Dick Butkus.
