Another Elite Sports Marketing screw up!!!

[gameused]

Looks like Elite Sports Marketing screwed up again, on ebay they are offering a signed action photo of Manny from the World Series entitled "The Catch", the only problem is that Manny did not make that catch in that photo, the ball was hit by Kaz Matsui and sailed over Mannys glove(read the below caption from getty images)

Hey you guys at elite, alls not lost! Maybe at the next Manny signing you can have him write in: "I almost made" the catch!

ESM listing on ebay:

Good catch. Pun intended.

I think to Manny that was a catch considering his lackadaisical style of play at times.

Perhaps Elite should get a photo of Manny standing at first base after the ball he thought he hit as a home run bounced off the top of the outfield wall and into the stands and have him sign it "home run"

Looks like the "Bozo's" at ESM finally figured out that Manny did not make the catch at the World Series and have relisted the photo as: SHOT OF MANNY ATTEMPTING "THE CATCH"!

Now if only Manny signed the picture with the inscription of "ATTEMPTING THE CATCH"
