See any minor glitches in the April 6 Denver Post Guide to Coors Field?

The fact that the photo is of Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia is a slight snafu. Just slight.

Much gnashing of teeth among media savants, mostly saying it's the lack of copy editors. Not so. Most copy editors couldn't tell Coors Field from the USS Constitution. Nor the design major art director whose sports IQ is basically knowing who LeBron is. It's the lack of some grizzled old sportswriter who'd spot the mixup in a nanosecond.

It's ridiculous to say that only a sportswriter would've spotted this. We're talking about a major facility in Denver. Only political reporters know what City Hall looks like?

How big does "Phillies" have to be before someone asks a question?
