From today's New York Times corrections and I'll copy it out since they don't cumulate on the website. The bolding is mine.
A sports article on Aug. 27 about Hideki Okajima, an All-Star relief pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, misstated the nickname of a professional team he once played for in Japan, Hokkaido Nippon-Ham. It is the Fighters, not the Ham Fighters. (The error first appeared on Feb. 27 in an article about Okajima.) (Go to Article)
I am pretty sure I was one of the people who sent in a correction request. Why? Because I'm one of those people. We're really no fun at parties.
A look back at Nippon Ham in the playoffs last year. The Fighters are in first place in the Japanese Central League this year.
