Philly Paper Runs Macy's World Series Ad Too Soon
The Philadelphia Phillies may have successfully held back the New York Yankees in Game 5 of the World Series Monday night, but not before one newspaper got ahead of itself. The Philadelphia Inquirer ran a Macy's ad Monday — offering a T-shirt congratulating the team on its back-to-back World Series titles. The Phillies did beat the Tampa Bay Rays last year, but they must win the next two games to be this year's champ.

Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne.
The Phillies may have successfully held back the Yankees last night, in Game Five of the World Series, but not before one Philadelphia newspaper got ahead of itself. The Philadelphia Inquirer ran a Macy's ad, yesterday � offering a T-shirt with the Phillies logo and calling the team back-to-back World Series champions. The Phillies did beat the Tampa Bay Rays last year, but even after last night's win, the Yankees still lead this year's series three to two.
