Jackie Robinson's name misspelled on New York City road sign​

New York City's Department of Transportation swung and missed with a road sign for the Jackie Robinson Parkway that spelled the Baseball Hall of Famer's first name as "Jakie." The sign spotted in Queens featured a picture of Robinson, Major League Baseball's first African American player in the modern era, over the words "Jakie Robinson Parkway."

Robinson broke baseball's color barrier with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. He is celebrated as a civil rights trailblazer and as a superstar athlete who made the All-Star Game six times and batted .313 over his 10-year MLB career. The road formerly known as the Interboro Parkway was renamed for Robinson in 1997, the 50th anniversary of his groundbreaking rookie season.

It's no problem; he couldn't spell his own name, either, most likely.
