WASHINGTON – A Philadelphia newspaper apologized Monday for running a department store ad congratulating the Philadelphia Phillies, who stand on the brink of World Series elimination, on winning the title.
"A Macy's advertisement in today's Philadelphia Inquirer incorrectly offered Phillies 2009 World Championship merchandise," Howard Griffin, vice president for national advertising, said in a message to readers.
"The Inquirer deeply regrets this error," Griffin said. "We apologize for this error and any inconvenience this caused."
The Phillies lost Game Four of the series to the New York Yankees on Sunday and trail the best-of-seven series by three games to one with Game Five to be played in Philadelphia on Monday.
