An Unfortunate Headline Referencing the Ku Klux Klan Appeared on Philly.com This Morning

Mistakes happen. It’s a part of life.

But this morning, a story on Philly.com highlighting the historic run Phillies pitchers have made in striking out batters per 9 innings in the month of April also made reference to the KKK in its headline that somehow made its way live.

Did that really happen?

The headline has since been changed to, “Meet the Special K Phillies.” A slightly longer version of the article can be viewed here.

According to BillyPenn.com, Vetrone said he was writing the piece and headline “half-asleep at my kitchen table this morning … It just never registered in my brain.”

Well, it certainly registered in ours.
