Bad Planning

Just because Andy MacPhail is in charge doesn't mean mistakes don't get made:

For one day, Adam Jones will get to pay homage to a hero. Jones, Baltimore's 22-year-old center fielder, was chosen as his team's representative to wear No. 42 Tuesday on Jackie Robinson Day, a tribute to one of the game's greatest legends. Jones, who has read several books about Robinson, termed the opportunity "a tremendous honor."

Good for Jones. Why is this a mistake? It's not Jones' fault. It's just the fact that Tuesday is Adam Jones t-shirt night, so the player of honor will not even be wearing the number that he normally wears, the one that will be on the t-shirt being given out to fans.

Most years, the O's would get beat up for such a mistake, but having the best record in baseball helps...
