A simple email to the seller letting him/her know it's "McGwire" would suffice.Les Zukor

Les, you have to admit that's hilarious, who doesn't know Mark McGwire, he's one of the most widely known players, not to mention a ten second google search would tell you how to spell it. That's just laziness.Ricardo Montoya

What if the person's dyslexic? What if the person's expertise is in sewing? One of the biggest things people should learn is that not everyone follows the same things that you do; other people have other priorities. So - I wouldn't call that person lazy.Les Zukor

Re: Worst butchering of Mark McGwire's name... ever.
Lighten up please. I am just having a little fun. I do not believe this seller for one minute has a disability. I think it's laziness... If you're selling sports jerseys, you should know Kordell Stewart has 2 L's not 1, Carmelo Anthony has 1 L, not 2, Emmitt Smith has 2 T's not 1. McGwire's spelling was just ridiculous. Have you never chuckled at an ebay listing before?Looking for ...

Re: Worst butchering of Mark McGwire's name... ever.
Well, I can't say for sure, but I don't think the person has a disbaility becuase the rest of the listing has no mistakes and includes well-written vocabulary. I just think that if I were selling something on ebay that I'm not an expert on, which I've done before, I would do some basic research for the title and discription. The person doesn't have to be incredibly knowledgable to do that much. If this person does indeed have a disability then this is understandable and no insult intended.Ricardo Montoya

That could just be a typo, it's not as butchered as that McGwire listing. BTW, I just asked my sister, who knows absolutely NOTHING about baseball or sports for that matter, to spell McGwire's las name and she did so correctly.Ricardo Montoya

NO!! That was on the nameplate. Probably one of the error jerseys they sell for 50% price.Comment

Re: Worst butchering of Mark McGwire's name... ever.
I also get a laugh from ebay sellers that misspell the player's last name when it's right there on the actual jersey that they are selling and have just photographed. If that's not the epitome of laziness, I don't know what is.Looking for ...

Re: Worst butchering of Mark McGwire's name... ever.
When I was trying to collect every Mark McGwire card and ticket stub from the 1998 season, I found some of the most common incorrect spellings of McGwire's name was Mark McQwire and Mark McGuire and Mark Maguire and Marc McGwire. Since these items often were bid on with the incorrect spelling, I wondered if people were finding these items by incorrectly putting the name in the "Search" function or purposely trying the other spellings as a strategy like I was.
I was putting together the Topps 70 HR set and the 70 HR ticket set so some of these would show up under the incorrect spellings and typically lower prices.
Just to test my theory today, look at all the items under McQwire and then think back to 1998 when there were 100's under this incorrect spelling:
