Twitter mistakes happen, but some media figures sure make them more regularly than others, and Howard Eskin (a long-time Philadelphia sports media figure who currently works for 94.1 WIP and Fox 29) appears to be near the top of that pile. Eskin’s latest is an absolutely incredible one from Wednesday, where he referred to Phillies’ outfielder Andrew McCutchen as “Lawrence McCutcheon”:https://twitter.com/howardeskin/status/1227631474414903300As Kevin Kinkead of Crossing Broad noted, Eskin’s defense was maybe even better, especially considering that he spelled McCutchen’s last name wrong again:https://twitter.com/howardeskin/status/1227643002480480259And even the Phillies’ official account made fun of him:https://twitter.com/Phillies/status/1227658605329047557Plenty of people have misspelled McCutchen’s last name over the years, but doing so twice in a short span is remarkable, as is calling him “Lawrence” (there was a Lawrence McCutcheon who played in the NFL in the 1970s, but yeah, that’s not even close). But as Matt Mullin of < PhillyVoice writes, the 70-year-old Eskin has made an astounding array of awful Twitter mistakes over the years. Some highlights, starting with “cluff lee” and “firmer”:https://twitter.com/treblaw/status/672487730165768192How about tagging the wrong Jessica Mendoza, and then a Jessica Mendiza account that’s never tweeted?https://twitter.com/howardeskin/status/1225851094473027585
Philly radio host Howard Eskin’s “Lawrence McCutcheon” tweet is just his latest awful miss, but it saw him mocked by the Phillies
Eskin has a long history of Twitter misfires, and he added to that Wednesday.
