Whoops! Miami Newspaper Advertisement Celebrates Miami Heat Title

Previously on Outside the Boxscore, we featured an erroneous Macy's advertisement from a Philadelphia newspaper claiming the Phillies has won back to back World Series titles in 2009.

Well, now a Miami newspaper accidentally ran another Macy's advertisement claiming the Miami Heat had won the 2011 NBA title.

We get more from Daily Mail:

It was hard enough for expectant Miami Heat fans to watch their team lose to the Mavericks on Sunday, but a mistaken advert congratulating them on their win just rubbed salt into the wound.

A full-page ad that ran in Monday's Miami Herald reads 'Congratulations Miami' next to photos of Heat championship T-shirts and hats from Macy's.

One T-shirt reads 'Heat 2011 NBA Finals Champions' and the ad shows the Heat's logo on a hat with the words 'NBA Champions.'

And to make matters worse, the ad ran under a story about the Heat's loss.

Despite claims the advert was a mistake, some commentators had suggested it may be a clever marketing ploy designed to garner national attention for a fraction of the price.

Here is the advertisement that ran in the Miami Herald:

Ryan Rayburn's Glove Causes Miguel Olivo Home Run

Poor Ryan Rayburn, he is going to be featured on blooper reels across the nation with the below blunder when the Tigers outfielder misjudged a Miguel Olivo fly ball.

Somewhere Jose Canseco is smiling:
