I can’t make fun of them too much, we thought Buck would win too.

ESPN was so confident that Baltimore Orioles skipper Buck Showalter would win AL Manager of the Year that they published his name as the winner on the mobile version of their MLB homepage. Unfortunately for them, their image showed A’s skipper Bob Melvin (the dude that actually won).

Rick Reilly would like to make sure he’s credited with breaking that news.
