A fan got an interesting misinterpretation of a custom jersey when they tried to order a knockoff Ron Santo jersey from Asia.

Santo was a great third baseman for the Cubs, and is one of the team’s broadcasters, but I don’t think too many would mistake him for Santa Claus. Also, no word if Chris Kringle actually is a baseball fan, the north pole doesn’t seem to have the weather for it, but hey, maybe Santa has a dome.

Hey, the jersey could be a lot worse, and only one letter off isn’t too hard to fix either, if it does really bother the fan. Still, the moral of this story is that if you’re gonna go for a knock off, get a pre-made knock off, and double-check the spelling before you confirm your order. Or, y’know, just roll the dice and hopefully you don’t get Santa’ed.
