This story about the misspellings on the Stanley Cup got me thinking about some other, equally legendary typos in sports history...
1948: A sticky caps lock button leads to the creation of NASCAR
1961: A young Carl Smith makes his MLB debut; however, a drunken reporter records his name as "Carl Yastrzemski," which stuck with him for the rest of his career
1969: Wilt Chamberlain briefly records the NBA's first quintuple double by scoring 40000 points and pulling down 24000 rebounds; observers suspected a broken "0" key might be to blame
1990-1993: A slight error at NBA headquarters results in three Finals MVP Awards being given to Micael Jorgan of the Chicago Balls.
2001: The Super Bowl is nearly ruined after every single person in the league forgets how to use roman numerals

Technically, that'd be a double quadruple. Or was that intentional? :D
And it'd be quintuple, too!
