Just a little correction

 

If you read the sports story on page 11 of the hard copy of today''s Jerusalem Post, as well as the online web edition story, as well as the rest of the world''s media, you''ll know that the Israel team, well, the Israel-Jewish team, won its first game at the World Baseball Classic qualifiers.

 

The score was 7-3.

 

But the caption on page one of the newspaper reads 7-4.

 

Mistakes happen.
