House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tweeted a happy birthday message to Hall of Fame baseball player Willie Mays for his 90th birthday on Thursday.

“Happy 90th Birthday to an all-American icon, Willie Mays. A trailblazing, record-breaking baseball player, civil rights leader, and champion for youth sports and well-being, Willie Mays is a civic legend and national treasure,” Pelosi’s tweet said.

The only problem was the photo she used was not of her and Mays.

Hey! Cut Nancy some slack,here. They all look alike to her,so it was an easy mistake to make. After all,it's not like she normally works with or associates with blacks when there are no cameras around.

Stretch McCovey was a helluva player.  Too bad Stupid Nan can't tell one Giant icon from another.  Or be insensitive enough to wish happy birthday to a dead guy

I wish I still had my baseball cards.  Here's another one that ended up being eaten by my bicycle spokes.

Nancy baby and her staff have no idea of who Willie Mays was nor what he looked like.

This is a common issue with those deep into virtue signalling.

Stretch McCovey was one of my favorite non-Pirate players when I was a little kid. Even I had no problem telling Mays and McCovey apart.  :laugh:
