This may be one of the best newspaper corrections I’ve ever seen, courtesy the MetsBlog. Apparently, the RA Dickey named his bat “Orcist the Goblin Cleaver”, but mis-attributed it to belonging to Bilbo Baggins. It actually belonged to Thorin Oakenshield. It’s not often that baseball and speculative fiction combine — the last time I can remember it happening was the movie Frequency, a time-bending film set against the backdrop of the 1969 World Series (again involving the Mets).
