Macy's Still Has Faith In Phillies Winning World Series
Phillies fans can only hope Macy's knows something they don't. A day after the Yankees took a 3-1 lead in the World Series, The Philadelphia Inquirer ran an ad from the department store chain congratulating the Phillies on winning back-to-back championships. [ INQUIRER STATEMENT ]
The three-quarter page ad on the back of Monday's front section features a T-shirt emblazoned with the Phillies logo, the Commissioner's Trophy and the phrase "Back To Back World Series Champions."
The Inquirer released an apologetic message to readers saying the paper deeply regrets the error and that "Macy’s is a great corporate citizen, supporter of this region and our sports teams."
Confident fans still anticipating a Phillies win may need to temper their purchasing expectations, however. The ad contains a small disclaimer at the bottom: "Advertised items may not be at your local Macy's."
